Re: [RC] Genetic diseases - EliteForgot to add my main point.... Sounds to me like a known SCID positive stallion would make a wonderful gelding. Linda geneticists advise using gene testing to manage diseases and gradually reduce their frequency, instead of simply using them as a black-and-white cull factor.Yes, but who wants to take a chance that their SCID positive stallion will sire a SCID positive foal when crossed with their mare of probably arab, but unregistered parentage?
