Technologies
1. Genotyping– Microsatellites marker panels– Species specifics panels
2. Real time PCR – Primer designed kits– SNPs assays

FORENSIC WORK
Stock theft and poaching
• Microsatellites markers– Link the crime scene and the suspect DNA evidences
obtained– Parentage dispute cases– Different marker panels
• Bovine, Horse, Ovine, Goat, Porcine, Buffalo, Impala, Kudu, Wildebeest, Eland, Sable, Rhino and Blesbok

Parentage dispute
• DNA samples from both parents and calf• Alleged mothers and dispute calf • It is important to take note that in the
absence of either parent (bull or cow) paternity cannot be proven.
• Only when both parents are analyzed it can be proven beyond doubt that the parents are the real biological parents of the offspring in question

DNA profiling
• Service rendered to the breed societies and stud breeders for bovine and horses
• DNA profiling certificates are issued• Parentage determination for breeding and
selection purpose• Buffalo DNA profiling – this is new and still
building the database

Real Time PCR• DNA based technology• Species identification on meat and processed
meat products – biltong, wors, patties, sausages, mince meat,
Vienna• Species specific primer designed kits• SNP Assays for genetic defects tests in
bovine and porcine – Dexter chondodysplasia and Malignant

Genetic characterization
• Most of livestock species haven been characterized in our lab using microsatellites markers
• Several multiplexes have been developed and optimized in our lab
