BLOOD TYPING or DNA REQUIREMENTS |
One requirement that is generally common for all breed registry associations is
that a record of the blood type of each bull used in artificial insemination be
on file with the respective breed associations. Whether blood typing or DNA
analysis is required, it is the responsibility of the owner of record to make
certain that compliance is met. This can be accomplished by asking the breed
association to mail a test kit.
