Haemoglobin variants in Indian sheep
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 02 September 2010
Summary
Haemoglobin types in three breeds of sheep were investigated. All three haemoglobin types—A, B and AB—were found to be present in the animals in two of the breeds examined, namely Bikaneri and Corriedale × Bikaneri (F1 generation). Mandia sheep had only Hb B and Hb AB types. Haemoglobin JB animals predominated in all the three breeds, the Mandia breed having the highest percentage of these animals. The possible significance of these findings is discussed.
