Abstract
AbstractAccurate pedigrees are of prime importance to breeders of both domestic and captive animals. Blood typing is a tool utilized to verify accuracy of pedigrees in domestic animal breeding programs that may often be directly applied to related zoo species. We describe the application of blood typing techniques developed for domestic horses to detect a switch in the identity of two Przewalski's horse mares. Before the switch detection, one of the mares had been bred to a closely related stallion, a breeding which would not have been planned had the correct identity of the mare been known.
