Tells you whether your horse can make black pigment at all, by reading the MC1R variant c.248C>T, the e version of the gene that gives chestnut and sorrel.The report gives the geno type directly as E/E, E/e or e/e, from hair roots or EDTA blood, at any age. It finds the E/e carriers, which look identical to E/E and cannot be recognised any other way.Run it together with the Agouti test for the full base colour, because this test alone cannot tell a future bay from a future black.Results are issued as a DNA certificate within 5 to 10 working days of the sample reaching the laboratory.
