Herds In Europe
DNA Colour testing in alpacas is becoming a routine activity in Europe as breeders realise the value the test report offers to their breeding programme.
Many breeding and selection decisions are encompassing alpaca DNA colour tests as they have proven to increase progeny predictability and improve herd performance.
Knowing where to find herds that are testing is a great importance and our interactive map will help you identify where to look:
Why Colour Test Your Alpacas

Identity mutations or uncertain patterns such as the grey gene
03
To make advanced breeding and informed purchase decisions
04
Increase progeny predictability in all colours including grey
Testimonials
”We would highly recommend the use of genetic colour testing to any alpaca breeder who is interested in increasing the predictability of colour in their breeding decisions. Finding those EE aa alpacas has been extremely useful as has identifying hidden grey. The latter has helped us avoid breeding decisions which may have resulted in less desirable outcomes such as BEW progeny and thus prevented a wasted year of breeding for that female. A very worthwhile investment.”
