Bird's Sex Identification

Amazon Forest Bio-Technology Lab- Pet Bird DNA Sex Identification Service
Traditional methods used to identify the sex of birds are nothing more than avian laparoscopy and laparotomy, cloacal examination,
biochemical examination, and surgical examination. Some experienced bird friends may guess the sex by the bird's appearance,
but these methods are expensive, time-consuming, and less accurate and can cause damage to birds. In view of this,
the company has identified the sex of birds by reference to molecular biotechnology that has been used abroad for more than ten years.
At the same time, the design of foreign identification methods has been weakened and developed, and the sex identification of Amazon
forest Bio-Technology Lab-pet bird DNA has been developed.

Technology Introduction
The avian DNA sex identification method is detected by using the high-retention CHD gene (Chromo-helicase-DNA Binding 1) on the avian sex chromosome.
A specific primer pair was designed for the CHD gene sequence, and the gene fragment was amplified by Polymerase Chain Reaction.
The size of the amplified product was analyzed by agarose gel electrophoresis to determine the sex male and female.
However, the design of the primer has a great influence on the test results. In addition to the foreign technology,
the company has accumulated tens of thousands of identification results, and selected the most specific and sensitive primer pair for each bird species.
Providing you with correct results.
