Genetic Diseases

Limitation: Some of these diseasesonly appear in some horse breedsso in some cases testing for a certain disease is of no value for the horse breeder.

The laboratory tests for all deseases at once, so no extra costis caused by testign for diseasesnot likely to appear in this breed.

SECTION 1)Tests for the presence or carrier status of 13 genetic diseases:

This section helps to:

Step 1) Determine your Horse‘s weight (if it can not be weighed)

Step 2) Determining if your horse needs to gain or lose weight

HOW TO FEEDSection 3)

ANIMAL GENETICS

Step 3) Determining your horse's feed requirement

Certain genetic diseases require specific feeding regiemes• HYPP > less than 1.1% potassium• PSSM > Only certain carbohydrate sources suitable

If the horse suffers from one of these diseases: Warning of feed types
