Doing Your BVD Tests Through ARI

BVD tests have always been a little bit of a pain for us. No reason really it just seemed like it was very expensive and several we got back did not have the cria’s name listed just right. We are now doing our BVD test through ARI with the blood card we send in to register our cria. It is great. The price is much more reasonable than having the vet do it. The cria only has to be stuck with the needle once rather than twice (which they really appreciate) and the reports come back very quickly. You can’t beat it.

Thanks for the info…I did not know you could do that!

AOBA does not do BVD testing, or DNA testing, or any lab testing, to my knowledge. It is ARI, Alpaca Registry, Inc., that does that.

Thanks for the correction. That will teach me not to write this stuff so late at night….
