Additional Information

This test is sent to an external laboratory. The mare's serum should be tested for anti-erythrocyte antibodies 1 to 2 weeks before she is scheduled to foal. In addition, if the stallion or jack's red blood cells are available, crossmatching with the mare's serum is also performed at no extra charge. If the mare has had a previous NI foal, submitting whole blood in an ACD (yellow top) from the mare and stallion is recommended for blood typing purposes (this is in addition to the aforementioned mare's serum). Do not submit EDTA whole blood for blood typing. Shipping (test code: xtrnu)and handling (test code: xhand) fees are also applicable. External test price is subject to change.
