Coat Colours Chestnut
The Extension locus has two alternative states (alleles). The dominant allele E produces black pigment in the coat. The recessive allele e produces red pigment. Chestnut horses are homozygous e/e.
Requirements
The tests are performed out of EDTA whole blood (0.5 ml) or cotton swabs. These cotton swabs are available upon request. Testing is performed a few times per week at Laboklin. The results are due about one week after arrival of the sample in our laboratory.
