Helgstrand Forced to Close Danish Stallion Station for 10 Days after Blood Sample Swap

Andreas Helgstrand has been forced to close his stallion station in Denmark for 10 days, from 31 March till 9 April 2021, after a procedural mistake in a routine blood test check at EU stallion stations.

Blood Samples Swapped

Helgstrand released the news yesterday in a press release:

"At EU stallion stations, blood samples are taken on a regular basis to ensure the necessary control of the stallions who are part of a breeding program. Unfortunately, it has become evident that two samples were mistakenly swapped at the most recent blood sampling in Denmark and the result is now incorrect on two of the stallions," the PR stated.
