AnimaLabs Genetic testing and DNA profiling for dogs, cats and other animals.

AnimaLabs© is a brand of InovaGen Ltd., founded for analyzing biological samples, including research and development of new services in the area of genetics, molecular biology, veterinary and biomedicine. AnimaLabs© is focused on DNA testing of inherited diseases and appearance traits, fast and precise identification of infectious diseases and scientific evidence of the pedigree of your pets and d

omestic animals. These DNA test results are meant to assist professional breeders in planning future breeding, so that the gene structure of their breed is maintained or its quality improved. This offers breeders and pet owners valuable information on the susceptibility of their animals to developing inherited diseases or undesired traits, and can be used for appropriate prevention or treatment. Our laboratory is a product of our young, expert and dynamic team connected by love of science and animals and concern for their safety, health and wellbeing. Molecular DNA tests are performed in a high tech laboratory using leading edge devices and units with all the methods based on latest scientific research guaranteeing a highly professional, prompt and quality service.

Understanding DNA profiling in Dogs, a key tool for responsible breeding

A Dog DNA profile is a unique genetic identifier for each individual dog. It is based on the analysis of specific short tandem repeat (STR) markers or SNPs, segments of DNA that vary from one individual to another. At AnimaLabs, we use the ISAG2006 marker set, which includes a standardised panel of STR loci recommended by the International Society for Animal Genetics (ISAG) for canine DNA profiling.

A complete DNA profile allows for:
• Permanent identification of a dog, regardless of microchip loss or removal
• Reliable parentage verification
• Dispute resolution in cases of mismatched litters or stud services
• Enhanced trust and transparency between breeders, owners, and kennel clubs
• Protection against falsified pedigrees and fraud

In many European countries, DNA parentage verification is mandatory for the registration of certain breeds or litters with national kennel clubs. These policies aim to maintain pedigree integrity and discourage unethical breeding practices.
AnimaLabs offers globally compatible Dog DNA profiling services, and our laboratory participates regularly in ISAG’s interlaboratory comparison tests, where we have consistently ranked Rank 1, the highest possible accuracy classification. This ensures that our DNA profiles are also internationally recognised and accepted by major kennel institutions.

All Dog DNA profiles issued by AnimaLabs:
• Follow the ISAG2006 standard marker set
• Include a digital certificate with a unique verification code
• Are securely stored and can be used later for parentage confirmation or identity validation

Whether you're a professional breeder or simply a conscientious dog owner, DNA profiling is a one-time test that adds long term value, credibility, and security to your breeding program.

Let’s raise the standard in canine genetics, one profile at a time.

🦷 Amelogenesis Imperfecta in Akitas – What You Need to Know! 🐕

Amelogenesis Imperfecta (AI) is a rare genetic condition that affects the enamel formation in Akita dogs, leading to weak, discoloured, and easily damaged teeth. 🦷❌ Dogs with AI may experience increased tooth wear, sensitivity, and a higher risk of dental disease.

Since this condition is inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern, both parents must be carriers for a puppy to be affected. Genetic testing is the only way to identify carriers and prevent passing AI to future generations. 🧬✅

At AnimaLabs, we offer reliable genetic testing for Amelogenesis Imperfecta, helping breeders and owners make informed decisions for their dogs’ health. 💙

Test your Akita today and ensure a healthier future for the breed: https://www.animalabs.com/shop/dog/amelogenesis-imperfecta-ai--akita-type/

🧬 SCID in Arabian Horses – A Hidden Threat! 🐎⚠️

Did you know that 8% of Arabian horses are carriers of SCID? If two carriers are bred together, there's a 25% chance the foal will inherit this fatal immune disorder. Affected foals seem healthy at birth but lack a functional immune system and succumb to infections within months.

SCID is 100% fatal and has no cure, but responsible breeding can prevent it! ✅ Genetic testing is a must for breeders to avoid unintentional carrier pairings.

❗️Recommendation for breeders and owners of Miniature Schnauzers!
🧬 Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) sensitivity is a genetic disorder found in Miniature Schnauzers that compromises their immune system, making them highly susceptible to severe mycobacterial infections. 🐾

🐶 Affected dogs typically show symptoms such as weight loss, lethargy, and enlarged lymph nodes, usually between 10 months and 3 years of age. Unfortunately, the condition is often fatal without intensive treatment.

📖 MAC sensitivity is inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern, meaning both parents must carry the mutated gene for their puppies to be affected.

🧬 Breeders and owners—understanding this condition is key to protecting your beloved Miniature Schnauzers. For more details, please read all the information here: https://www.animalabs.com/shop/miniature-schnauzer/mycobacterium-avium-complex-sensitivity-mac--miniature-schnauzer-type/

🧬 Chondrodystrophy and Chondrodysplasia (CDPA/CDDY, IVDD) is a genetic condition characterized by shortened limbs due to early changes in the structure of growth plates. This condition is prevalent in breeds such as Bulldogs, Corgis, Dachshunds, and Basset Hounds. Affected dogs may also exhibit skeletal features like a protruding lower jaw or an unusually short upper jaw.
Notably, chondrodystrophy increases the risk of intervertebral disc disease (IVDD), leading to potential mobility issues. Studies indicate that dogs with this genetic mutation are 5 to 15 times more likely to experience disc herniation.

For a more comprehensive understanding of chondrodystrophy and its implications, take a look at our new blog post on this condition: https://www.animalabs.com/chondrodystrophy-and-chondrodysplasia-cdpa-cddy-ivdd-/
