Re: Animal Genetics
I talked with Arne of AG around the beginning of the week about it and he said the issue is that even though Cornell had little to do with developing the test they are the ones seeking the patent on it.
He told me that he would much rather give the royalties from the testing to the App Project then Cornell. The biggest thing is seeing if there is enough interest to warrant talking with Cornell on the royalties. He said that if you send in your appaloosa for other testing and you request it, they'll contact Cornell and the App Project and okay it with them to be part of the study.
I know I have about 3 mares that are solid and are App x App breeding and I would really like to know their Lp status. They did do the Lp on my stud when I sent in to get him PSSM tested and of course I knew he would come back n/Lp which he did. When I send in these mares for PSSM testing I'll request the other tests.

Oh, and that's both AG in Florida and UK.
