Abstract
Liu, Y., Zhao, X. Zhang, N., Luo, X. and Tong, Z. 2007. Application of mtDNA sequencing method for individual identification in rustling. J. Appl. Anim. Res., 32: 77–80.
The mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) sequencing has extensive use in human forensics particularly for identification of individuals. In this case report a cattle was being claimed by two owners. Using this technique the disputed cattle was compared with purported mothers, brother, sister and son and the real relatives were identified. However, it has the limitation of being used only in case of different maternal lineages.
