Six microsatellite loci were evaluated for their suitability for parentage control in horses. A combination of PCR and semiautomatic fluorescence-based detection was applied. A total of 352 animals were tested. The microsatellite loci showed extensive polymorphism with allele numbers ranging from 7 to 11 and polymorphism information content (PIC) values in the range 0.47-0.82. The analysis of these loci also revealed that they had a 98.88 % combined probability of exclusion (PE) of false parentage. The results of this study suggested that a very high probability of exclusion could be reached with only six microsatellite loci.
