Does anyone know what blood lines combined immunodeficiency is found in in Arabians or a website, etc. that would give the information? I can find info that 25% of Arabs in the US are carriers and each year 2-3% of foals are born with it. As well as the disease is found in the US, Great Britian, and Australia, and is believed to have begun as a genetic mutation in a horse in Great Britian and then spread through importation of horses from there to other countries. Thanks. |

I doubt you will find many Purebred stallions that are SCID positive advertised as such. There are a few (but a very few) stallion owners who have come forward for example: Quote:
The more active you are in the Arabian Industry the more information you will aquire as to who has recently lost foals to SCID and what horses were involved. As long as a positive mare is not bred to a positive stallion there is no problem. Since some Arabian owners do not test their stallions or mares it is, in my opinion, a wise decision to have your own mares (and stallion if you own one) tested so you will at least know if any of your breeding stock is positive and you can then make wise breeding decisions based on that horse's test results.
