The aim of this study was to verify the accuracy of the pedigree data of Old Kladruber dam lines using mtDNA analysis. The upstream part of the mtDNA D-loop hypervariable region (384 bp, nt15450 - nt15834) was sequenced. DNA was extracted from deep-frozen whole blood and fresh saliva samples of 170 Old Kladruber horses representing 23 dam lines from Kladruby n/L stud and some private farms.
