          Some handy hints for SNP DNA


          •   Hair or semen samples are accepted by Neogen, wet   •   For SNP parentage (sire and/or dam verification) to
             TSU/tissue is preferred.                             be run, parents must have a compatible SNP profile
          •   A completed Neogen DNA form must accompany          to use in the analysis (microsatellite/MiP profile not
             all samples. It can be found on both the NZH and     compatible).
             PBB websites. Complete the spreadsheet form      •   PBB can source existing hair samples from Massey for
             electronically (typed), print a hard copy to mail with   SNP testing if needed for $10+GST, includes cost of
             your samples and email the electronic copy to dna@   hair card + splitting fee.
