Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) fragments of animal origin which may be present in feed materials and compound feed are detected by a genetic amplification technique through PCR, targeting species-specific DNA sequences.

The PCR method first requires a DNA extraction step. The amplification step shall be applied afterwards to the so-obtained DNA extract, in order to detect the animal species targeted by the assay.
