Abstract

This study was conducted to investigate the relation between Tf and Hb-type with some production and adaptive traits in Iraqi local Sharabi and imported Friesian cattle. Tf genes, A, D, and E are found in both breeds at a frequency of 0.464, 0.500 and 0.036 in Friesians and 0.363, 0.426 and 0.191 for the Sharabi.
All Friesians were fixed for gene Hb-A while the A and B genes were segregating at frequencies of 0.64 and 0.46 in the Sharabi.
