Our specialized DNA testing services offer reliable parentage verification for alpacas and llamas. By analysing genetic markers, we can confirm the parentage of individual animals with precision and accuracy. This verification process is essential for breeders and associations looking to establish and maintain high-quality bloodlines, as well as for ensuring the legitimacy of pedigrees.
