DNA testing
DNA testing can be used to establish the identity of an animal where the dam is in question or the calf registration was late and no calving records supplied.
The animal must be registered on ScotEID as restricted and the dam available.
The keeper can download the DNA test form or we can send it out.
DNA Results
The results are returned to ScotEID. If the results are qualified:
A. The animal is processed through the queue as an incomplete registration / NORL.
B. Passport entry record V1 is created.
Please ensure that all validation is carried out as this is not done when an animal is registered initially as a restriction. This is due to not all the data requiring to be present for a restriction.
For more information please the Late Calf Registration Process.
