Bioanalysis Services for your Horses

Genetic Analysis

Learn your horse’s preferred race distance, winning potential, breeding potential, health risks, and more.

Genetics influences performance. Athletics of breeds differ. We’ve developed rapid, proprietary breed-specific aptitude and performance tests for Thoroughbreds, Arabians, Standardbreds, and Quarterhorses.

microbiome analysis

Protect your horse’s health and nutrition by learning what’s in their gut.

Microbiomes residing in the gut impact equine health and performance. Detect and identify actionable conditions including nutritional deficiencies, microbial imbalances, unsuspecting and or atypical infections, and antibiotic-resistant microbes. We analyze prokaryotic, eukaryotic, archaebacterial and viral composition of the gut flora and compare it to that of elite racing horses.
