“…One relevant aspect when studying this topic is the knowledge of population structure and genetic relationship for the breeds involved in the traceability system (Dalvit et al, 2008). The positive results obtained in this were also due to the genetic separation of Girgentana, from the other goat breeds for the differences in breeding system and origin (Siwek, Finocchiaro, Curik, & Portolano, 2010).…”

“…Nevertheless, the method was not accurate enough when they analyzed samples consisting of more than 10 individual contributors. Several authors (Dalvit et al, 2008;Fernández et al, 2013;Heaton et al, 2014) reported the use of microsatellite markers and SNPs as potential tool for meat individual traceability and breed traceability on single meat cut. To the best of our knowledge, this work was the first to extend the potential use of microsatellite markers for traceability purpose on dairy products.…”

“…Microsatellite markers had been widely investigated for many applications such as genetic identification, assessment of parentage, breed assignment tests and traceability (Dalvit et al, 2007;Fernández et al, 2013;Heaton et al, 2002;Orrù, Napolitano, Catillo, & Moioli, 2006;Rosa, Sardina, Mastrangelo, Tolone, & Portolano, 2013;Tolone, Mastrangelo, Rosa, & Portolano, 2012). DNA analysis furnished different levels of identification: individual one is useful for safeguarding public and animal health and providing safe products for both domestic and export consumption (considering also that national disease monitoring depends on correct animal identification), while breed and species discrimination are interesting to detect fraud and to protect and valorize typical products (Bottero & Dalmasso, 2011;Cunningham & Meghen, 2001;Dalvit, De Marchi, Targhetta, Gervaso, & Cassandro, 2008). Breed genetic traceability allowed the assignment or exclusion of the breed of origin to a product.…”

In livestock, breed assignment may play a key role in the certification of products linked to specific breeds. Traceability of farm animals and authentication of their products can contribute to improve breed profitability and sustainability of animal productions with significant impact on the rural economy of particular geographic areas and on breed and biodiversity conservation. With the goal of developing a breed genetic traceability system for Girgentana dairy products, the aim of this study was to identify specific microsatellite markers able to discriminate among the most important Sicilian dairy goat breeds, in order to detect possible adulteration in Girgentana dairy products. A total of 20 microsatellite markers were analyzed on 338 individual samples from Girgentana, Maltese, and Derivata di Siria goat breeds. Specific microsatellite markers useful for traceability of dairy products were identified. Eight microsatellite markers showed alleles present at the same time in Maltese and Derivata di Siria and absent in Girgentana and, therefore, they were tested on DNA pools of the three breeds. Considering the electropherograms' results, only FCB20, SRCRSP5, and TGLA122 markers were tested on DNA samples extracted from cheeses of Girgentana goat breed. These three microsatellite markers could be applied in a breed genetic traceability system of Girgentana dairy products in order to detect adulteration due to Maltese and Derivata di Siria goat breeds.

“…Over the last few years DNA based methods were proposed for meat identification [27,28,88,89]. Indeed, SSR markers proved effective in differentiating groups of cattle from the same breed [90] and pure wild boar meat, a premium product with higher market price, from pure pig breed [91].…”

Media constantly refer of unscrupulous producers that adulterate, alter or replace premium products in food chains with the goal to maximize illegally profits. Food traceability is a central issue for the identification of improper labeling of processed food and feed and there are rules aimed to protect consumers and producers against fraudulent substitution of quality products in food chain, but the tools available are not always appropriate. DNA-based markers proved very effective for fresh and processed food molecular authentication. In this review, we illustrate potential and limits of different DNA markers focusing on low, medium and high-throughput markers, in order to monitor the genetic identity of food components in meat, fish and plants net-chains.

“…So far, breed allocation based on molecular markers has been profitably applied for meat traceability in different animal species, including cattle (Dalvit et al, 2008;Rogberg-Muñoz et al, 2014) and pigs (Garcia et al, 2006;Oh et al, 2014), while in sheep molecular traceability systems are still difficult to implement for the high cost of genotyping relative to the economic value of the single animal, especially in minor breeds, which usually suffer from lack of funds.…”

Genetic traceability has a key role in the product certification, but it is rarely implemented in sheep so far, especially in the fresh meat sector. In this study, the case of the Sambucana sheep is analysed with the aim of developing a genetic system able to certify the origin of its traditional product, the Sambucano lamb, protected by a registered trademark. A set of 14 microsatellite markers was identified as an efficient tool to genetically discriminate the Sambucana sheep from other breeds potentially involved in mislabelling and to allow for an effective allocation test of meat cuts labelled as 'Guaranteed Sambucano lamb'. The paternity test proved to be an additional means to improve the reliability of the control. The traceability system here described is easy to implement in local minor sheep breeds and is recommended in the framework of meat certification.
