This document specifies a real-time polymerase chain reaction (real-time PCR) method for the qualitative detection of horse-specific DNA derived from food and feed. It requires the extraction of an adequate amount of PCR amplifiable DNA from the relevant matrix and can be applied to the detection of 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). The target sequence is an Equus caballus isolate Twilight breed thoroughbred chromosome 28, EquCab3.0, whole genome shotgun sequence (i.e. GenBank accession number NC_009171.3)[1], which is present as a single copy per haploid genome. The provided PCR assay for this target has an absolute limit of detection of five copies per reaction, with ≥ 95 % replicability at this concentration (LOD95 %).

Introduction
Fraudulent adulteration of meat in food and feed threatens both public safety and commerce.
Adulteration can affect those adhering to ethnological dietary rules, economic development and social
stability. This document provides a real-time polymerase chain reaction (real-time PCR) analytical
method for the identification of meat animal species from nucleic acid present in the ingredients of food
and feed.Animal-derived biological materials in food and feed are detected and identified in the laboratory with
the following successive (or simultaneous) steps: preparation of the test portion/sample, nucleic acid
extraction and purification, PCR amplification and interpretation of results. This document provides
guidance for PCR amplification and interpretation of results, specific to horse DNA detection.
The ISO 20224 series consists of technical specifications that describe specific applications. New
species DNA detection methods established in the future will be added as independent parts.

4 Scientific basis
DNA is extracted from the test portion by applying a suitable method (see ISO 21571:2005, A.1). The
DNA analysis consists of two parts:— verification of the quality and amplifiability of the extracted DNA using a PCR assay specific for
eukaryotes (e.g. 18S rRNA gene) or mammals and poultry (e.g. myostatin gene);— detection of the horse species-specific DNA sequence of the single-copy Equus caballus isolate
Twilight breed thoroughbred chromosome 28, EquCab3.0, whole genome shotgun sequence.
(GenBank accession number NC_009171.3) in a real-time PCR.NOTE The copy number of the eukaryotic ribosomal 18S RNA (18S rRNA) gene in a cell varies from several
hundred to several thousand, while the specific target sequence in the horse genome and myostatin gene in
mammals and poultry genome are single copy. The copy number of the specific target sequence in the horse
genome was confirmed by bioinformatics analysis at the whole genome scale (see Annex A) and digital PCR for
absolute quantification.5 Reagents and materials
5.1 General
For this document, only chemicals and water of recognized analytical grade, appropriate for molecular
biology, shall be used. Unless stated otherwise, solutions should be prepared by dissolving the
corresponding reagents in water followed by autoclave sterilization. For all operations in which gloves
are used, gloves shall be powder free. The use of aerosol protected pipette tips (protection against
cross-contamination) is recommended.5.2 PCR reagents
5.2.1 PCR master mix.
PCR master mix contains thermostable DNA polymerase, pH buffer, KCl, MgCl , uracil-DNA glycosylase
(UDG) and the four dNTPS (dATP, dGTP, dUTP, dCTP) as a dilutable concentrate, which is ready to use.

6 Apparatus
Requirements concerning apparatus and materials shall follow ISO 20813. In addition to the usual
laboratory equipment, the following equipment is required.6.1 Real-time thermocycler instrument.

7 Procedure7.1 Preparation of the test portion/sample
The test sample used for DNA extraction shall be representative of the laboratory sample and
homogeneous, e.g. by grinding or homogenizing the laboratory sample to a fine mixture. Test portion/
sample preparation shall follow the general requirements and specific methods described in ISO 21571
and ISO 20813.7.2 Preparation of DNA extracts
The extraction/purification and quantification of DNA from the test portion shall follow the
general requirements and methods provided in ISO 21571. DNA extraction methods described in
ISO 21571:2005, Annex A, are recommended.7.3 PCR setup

The method is for a total volume of 25 μl per PCR. The reaction setup is given in Table 2. Reagents
shall be completely thawed at room temperature. Each reagent shall be carefully mixed and briefly
centrifuged immediately before pipetting. A PCR reagent mixture is prepared to contain all components
except for the sample DNA. The required total amount of the PCR reagent mixture prepared depends
on the number of reactions to be performed, including at least one additional reaction as a pipetting
reserve. The number of sample and control replicates...
