Abstract:

In this study, we established a highly specific and sensitive real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method to
detect horse and donkey components in donkey hide glue. The mitochondrial tRNA-Thr gene of horse and the mitochondrial
D-loop region of donkey were selected as target sequences for the designing of specific primers. In conventional and realtime
PCR assays, horse and donkey ingredients could be specifically detected using both primer pairs.

Key words: donkey hide glue, horse, donkey, real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR)
