Segmental analysis of hair for drug detection in racing horses
...ion is not likely. Segmental analysis can be performed on hair to create a drug profile that can be used to estimate when the drug might have been administered. Segmental testing can be useful when horses change ownership to demonstrate if drug administration occurred prior to change of possession. Equine hair grows at a rate of approximately 2 cm per month. Mane or tail hair is measured from the root end and cut into 2 cm segments. Each segment i...
