Avigenics UK

About

This specialized laboratory focuses exclusively on genetic testing services for birds, offering DNA analysis to determine gender and detect common avian diseases. The facility processes feather, blood, and eggshell samples to provide accurate results for bird sexing, which is particularly valuable for species where visual gender identification proves difficult or impossible. Their testing capabilities also extend to screening for Psittacine Beak and Feather Disease (PBFD) and Avian Polyomavirus (APV), two serious conditions that can affect pet birds. The laboratory serves bird owners, breeders, and veterinary professionals throughout the UK and internationally, utilizing molecular biology techniques and quality control standards to ensure reliable results. Pet bird owners benefit from the convenience of multiple sample collection methods, allowing them to choose the option that works most comfortably for their specific bird species and situation. Operating from their North Harrow location, the company maintains standard business hours Monday through Friday and aims to respond to inquiries within one business day. Their services prove particularly valuable for breeding programs, health monitoring, and providing peace of mind for bird owners who want to better understand their pets' genetics and health status.
