This document specifies a real-time polymerase chain reaction (real-time PCR) method for thequalitative detection of horse-specific DNA derived from food and feed. It requires the extraction of anadequate amount of PCR amplifiable DNA from the relevant matrix and can be applied to the detectionof horse material derived from domestic horse (Equus caballus), mule (Equus caballus ♀ × Equus asinus ♂), hinny (Equus caballus ♂ × Equus asinus ♀) and zebroid (Equus caballus × Equus simplicidens). The assay also detects the species Przewalski's horse (Equus przewalskii) and zebra (Equus burchellii).
