The University of Kentucky Animal Genetic Testing and Research Laboratory has been renamed Genetic Testing at Gluck to better align with its mission to offer the highest quality DNA testing combined with personalized customer service while discovering the genetic basis for traits and diseases in horses.

Part of the Department of Veterinary Science in the College of Agriculture, Food and Environment, Genetic Testing at Gluck relocated to the UK Gluck Equine Research Center in 2009 after being housed in the Dimock Animal Pathology Building for 23 years. The lab was also formally known as the Parentage Testing Laboratory and before that as the Horse Bloodtyping Laboratory. It is one of three laboratories associated with public universities in the United States. The other two are at the University of California, Davis, and Texas A&M University.

“The Genetic Testing at Gluck laboratory will continue the tradition of providing both excellent service and research expertise to the equine community,” said David Horohov, PhD, chair of the Department of Veterinary Science, director of the Gluck Equine Research Center, and Jes E. and Clementine M. Schlaikjer Endowed Chair
