FAQs

Common Mistakes During Sample Collection

Large feathers contain more protein and tend to contain less viable DNA for testing. Hence it is better to avoid large size and old feathers. Young feathers contain more active cells and thus increase chances of getting good quality DNA. It’s better to collect feathers from the chest as it is easier for the bird and easy to collect. In general medium sized feathers are ideal for DNA testing. For extremely small birds like finches, budgerigars and lovebirds one may choose to collect a combination of tail, chest and wing feathers. If by chance you pluck blood feather and notice blood oozing out, please wait for 5 min so that the blood dries by air. This will avoid contamination. Do not put blood feathers in wet condition.
