Line 51: ==North American Piedmontese Association (NAPA)== The North American Piedmontese Association (NAPA) was organized in September 2000, and is one of the official breed ~~registry~~registries for North American Piedmontese cattle. It is a member-based, nonprofit [[breed registry]] headquartered in Washington, U.S., and the first cattle breed registry with mandatory registration requirements based on the presence of the Piedmontese-specific [[myostatin]] [[allele]] mutation.<ref name="Services">{{cite web \| url=http://www.piedmontese.org/NAPAservices.html \| title=NAPA Services: Glossary of Definitions for Registry and Recordation \| publisher=North American Piedmontese Association \| accessdate=July 31, 2014}}</ref> There are different categories of registration and recordation within the registry. Only homozygous animals (2 copy) can be registered, therefore breed true, and are eligible for registration in either the Fullblood (based on pedigree record), or Naturalean divisions.<ref name="Services" /> The Naturalean division is for Piedmontese cattle that are either crossbred or could have qualified for Fullblood registration but failed to meet the pedigree requirements, perhaps because of unregistered or unverified parentage. Prior to registration or recording, DNA testing is required to confirm the animal carries at least 1 copy of the Piedmontese-specific myostatin gene.{{efn-ua\|According to NAPA,『Naturalean™ registration papers are printed on grey paper, and carry the registration number prefix of 'N' or 'NU'. The 'NU' prefix indicates that the registered pedigree information is in-complete.』Fullblood registrations are printed on white paper and do not have a prefix before the registration number, unless the animal is designated Embryo Transfer (ET).<ref name="Services" />}} Naturalean animals that are DNA tested heterozygous (1-copy) are not registered, rather they are issued a registration number with the prefix "recorded". The 0-copy (non-carriers) cattle are ineligible for registration in any category.<ref name="Services" />
