Haemoglobin Polymorphism in Malabari Goats
Malabari Goat populations of Tanur, Thalassery and Badagara were studied for haemoglobin polymorphism. Two variants were observed for haemoglobin, Hb A and Hb B with a frequency of 0.987 and 0.012, respectively, suggestive of three phenotypes, viz. Hb AA, Hb AB and Hb BB, and indicating the predomin...

| Summary: | Malabari Goat populations of Tanur, Thalassery and Badagara were studied for haemoglobin polymorphism. Two variants were observed for haemoglobin, Hb A and Hb B with a frequency of 0.987 and 0.012, respectively, suggestive of three phenotypes, viz. Hb AA, Hb AB and Hb BB, and indicating the predominance of Hb A in the pooled population. Hb B variant was observed only in the Thalassery population (gene frequency 0.038). [Vet.
