Modern animal breeding methods need accurate pedigree information to select genetically superior individuals. In the New Zealand deer industry, accurate parentage data is virtually essential when selling high priced breeding stock. Biochemical parentage testing provides a means of checking pedigree records and solving cases of unknown parentage. This paper outlines the present status of parentage testing in red deer using protein polymorphisms and reports the fist case of DNA parentage testing in New Zealand deer. The results of protein parentage testing on 199 pedigrees are summarised and the rate of pedigree misidentification is calculated in 8 breeding groups
