PiGen, short for Pigeon Genetics, is a Belgium-based genetic lineage and DNA testing certification service for the racing pigeon sector. Founded by two veterinarians, it aims to improve the authenticity of racing pigeon bloodlines, understanding of genetic quality, and standardization of industry data. Strictly speaking, it is not a typical general-purpose SaaS product, but rather a vertical industry system combining professional testing services with an online certificate and lookup platform.
Its core modules include DNA-profile, relationship verification, gender testing, quality gene testing for LDHA/DRD4/CRY1/CASK/LRP8/GSR, and multi-generation DNA pedigree certificates. PiGen emphasizes that sampling must be performed by an independent veterinarian, testing is carried out by certified laboratories, and the process follows ISAG recommendations and the international racing pigeon DNA marker panel. Certificates come with a unique QR code and can be verified online via the official website, making them suitable for racing pigeon sales, breeding, and bloodline proof scenarios.
Pricing is charged per service item: DNA-profile starts from β¬42.99, DNA-profile + gender starts from β¬53.99, standalone gender testing starts from β¬17.95, and quality gene combination testing starts from β¬59, all excluding EU VAT. Non-system manual entry incurs an additional β¬5 administration fee, and samples not using the standard sampling bag are also charged an extra β¬5 per sample. Overall pricing is transparent and suitable for on-demand testing, but there is no visible information about subscriptions, enterprise packages, or free trials.
The advantages are its very clear industry focus, rigorous workflow, and certificate anti-counterfeiting plus online verification, which improve trust in transactions. Public pricing also lowers the cost of decision-making. The drawbacks are that the website does not disclose details on APIs, third-party software integrations, team permissions, SLA, payment methods, or privacy compliance. As a result, when assessed by SaaS standards, information about enterprise-level capabilities is insufficient.
PiGen is suitable for racing pigeon breeders, trading parties, veterinarians, and professional lofts that require pedigree certification. Chinese users should pay attention to cross-border sample shipping, recognition of veterinarian sampling, euro payments, and website access stability. Although the site includes a Chinese entry point, it does not provide information on local services or alternatives in China, so its access status from China cannot currently be determined.
