Igenity ® Hair Sample Instructions

1. Pull (do not cut) hair from the tail switch, not tail head. Pullhair in the opposite direction from which the hair is laying. Thisresults in less breakage than pulling straight out from the tail.

2. Make sure hair is free of fecal material and dirt.

6. Properly record animal IDs on the collector cards and correctlyenter that information on your testing order form to ensure youare matching the right DNA to the right animal.

5. Trim excess hair extending from the collector. Write animal IDand other information in the spaces provided.

3. Roots must be clearly visible. Approximately 30 hair roots areneeded. For animals with finer hair, a minimum of 50 to 60hairs is desired. For animals younger than three months, bloodis recommended since hair roots will likely not be visible.

4. Open the collector and peel back the plastic cover. Insert theroot end of hairs in the middle of the collector. Seal the plasticcover over the hair and then close the collector cover tab.

Igenity ® Blood Sample Instructions

1. Appropriately restrain the animal. Locate a blood vessel,visually or by palpation. Clean the area so the sample isnot contaminated with dirt or manure. Use a clean needleor lancet for every animal.

Two to three drops of blood are needed on the collector portion of the card. This can be collected from anywhere on the animal. Two locations for easy-to-find blood vessels are the ear and the underside of the tail.

3. Collect two to three drops of blood on the collectorportion of the collection card by allowing the blood todrip or squirt onto the card. Do not wipe the needle, earor tail on the collection card. Discard the needle in anappropriate disposal container.

4. Before placing blood drops on blood cards, write anaccurate customer name and animal ID in the spacesprovided. Let the cards sit open and air dry beforeclosing cover flap.

2. Blood can also be sampled with a syringe or blood tubefrom the vein on the underside of the tail. This may beeasier than sampling blood from an ear vein that iscovered with long, thick hair.
