How it works
Your test kit includes all of the supplies needed to collect a sample of fresh manure and return it back to our laboratory, including detailed instructions and a pre-addressed return mailer (prepaid within the US only).Â
Â
Once you have registered your horse’s sample ID and we have received your horse’s sample, we will process it with our state-of-the-art DNA sequencing technology. The data will then be analyzed through our comprehensive and proprietary pipeline to identify the bacteria in the sample.
Â
We will prepare a customized report to explain your horse’s results and send it straight to your inbox within 2-3 weeks. The report clearly summarizes what bacteria we found in your horse’s sample and shows whether potential harmful pathogens were detected.
