Overview:
There are various reasons for detecting the gender of parrots, including social and preventive measures, breeding plans, behavior and training, avoiding reproductive discomfort, healthcare, and social balance. These are mainly aimed at better managing and caring for these pet birds.
In summary, gender testing of parrots helps breeders better meet the needs of these pets, providing appropriate environments and care. Whether for reproductive, social, or health reasons, it is important to ensure that the correct gender of a parrot is known for its comfort and the satisfaction of its owner.
DNA testing:
This is the most commonly used parrot sex detection method, which is based on analyzing the parrot's DNA to determine its gender. This method has very high accuracy and is suitable for parrots of all ages. DNA samples are usually extracted from parrot feathers or toenails and then subjected to genetic analysis. By detecting sex chromosomes or specific genetic markers, it is possible to determine whether a parrot is male or female.
Testing variety:
Tiger skin parrot, Xuan Feng parrot, Peony parrot, etc
Basic structure of the instrument:
The parrot/pigeon sex detector is an instrument for real-time detection of reactions, mainly composed of gene amplification thermal cycle system, fluorescence real-time detection system, microcircuit control system, computer and application software. Two core functional modules are the thermal cycling system and the fluorescence real-time 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, light signal transmission components, fluorescence detection components, and control systems.
