Pigeon Flying Ability Tester

For a long time, having a good bloodline has been considered an important factor affecting competition performance, and the so-called good bloodline refers to specific heritable genotypes. Given that certain genes in racing pigeons have a significant impact on their athletic ability, through reference to literature and European testing experience, combined with existing innovative technologies, it has been found that the homing ability (DRD4) index, endurance (LDHA) index, and cryptochrome (CRY1) index have important reference roles in breeding the flight ability of racing pigeons. By detecting these indicators, a more scientific reference basis can be provided for pigeon enthusiasts in the process of selecting racing pigeons and breeding pigeons.
Our company has developed a combination of the aforementioned genetic researchPigeon Flying Ability TesterIt can simultaneously identify genes that affect flight ability, including pigeon gender identification, homing ability DRD4, endurance LDHA, navigation ability, and circadian rhythm CRY1.

Basic structure of the instrument
The real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR system is an instrument for real-time detection of reactions, mainly composed of a gene amplification thermal cycle system, a fluorescence real-time detection system, a microcircuit control system, a computer, and application software. Two core functional modules are: thermal cycling system and real-time fluorescence detection system. The working principle of the gene amplification thermal cycle system is basically the same as that of traditional gene amplification instruments, using semiconductor heating and cooling to complete the thermal cycle process. The fluorescence detection system mainly consists of fluorescence excitation components, optical signal transmission components, fluorescence detection components, and control systems.
