Genetic testing for your camels
One hair or blood sample gives each camel a DNA identity, shows how closely its parents were related, and maps its kinship to the rest of your herd.
1,450 AED per sample. Starting in the UAE.
What one sample tells you
Genetic identity
A DNA fingerprint that stays with the camel for life and cannot be forged or swapped. Scan its code to confirm the animal at any time.
A code scanned to confirm the camel's identity at any time.
Inbreeding coefficient
Mating close relatives weakens fertility, growth and immunity. You get a clear percentage and a recommendation for the right match.
Kinship map
A written pedigree can be incomplete or simply wrong. The test measures the real relationship between every pair of tested camels, and the map grows with each new sample.
How it works
The sample
A Madani representative visits your farm and collects a hair or blood sample from each camel.
The analysis
The samples are analysed in a specialist laboratory.
The report
Within 7–9 weeks of sampling you receive a plain-language report as a PDF, and the result is saved in the Madani app.

Questions owners ask
Is Madani genetic testing available now?
Yes, in the United Arab Emirates. Order on the website or in the Madani app, or message us on WhatsApp.
Does the test harm the camel?
No. The sample is a few hairs or a small blood sample, and it takes only seconds.
My camel has a brand and a microchip — why do I need the genetic fingerprint?
A chip says "this is camel number so-and-so"; the genetic fingerprint proves both its identity and its lineage, and it cannot be forged or swapped. It is also the foundation of every other result in the report.
Can the test tell me how my camel will perform in a race?
No test can accurately predict a race result — beware of anyone who promises you that. What we provide is a verified genetic foundation that helps you make better breeding decisions.
Does the test detect genetic diseases?
The test does not diagnose specific diseases — known disease mutations in camels are still under research worldwide. It does reveal the biggest source of genetic weakness, close inbreeding, and guides you to avoid it before it happens.
Do I need to test the sire and dam to prove parentage?
Yes — proving parentage requires testing both parents, or their presence in the genetic registry. The more camels enrolled, the more kinship links we can detect automatically.
When will I receive the report?
The Madani team visits to take the sample within 14 days of your order, and samples ship to the lab in consolidated batches. Your report arrives within 7–9 weeks of sample collection, as a PDF over WhatsApp, and is also recorded in the Madani app.
Is the service available outside the UAE?
It starts in the United Arab Emirates only, because the sample is collected by a visit to your farm. We are working to widen coverage gradually.
