Citaat:Hi,
We prefer to test from hair and that is what is done in the USA. Unfortunately the USDA tightly regulates what animal origin substances can be imported and the permit for Cornell specifies only blood. Personally I don't know whether a hair lock in an envelope would even be detected. I do not know how mail is screened. It seems ridiculous as we import whole horses! Believe me it did not make me happy.

Citaat:Hi,
We are going to amend our USDA import permit so that we can accept plucked hair from European horses. I do not know how long it will take, but it is coming. I will let you know when it is done.
