Abstract
Three amylase phenotypes (AmIB, AmIC and AmIBC) were detected by electrophoresis of blood serum from 329 Holstein cattle. These phenotypes appear to be controlled by 2 alleles AmIB and AmIC at the amylase I locus (AmI). Frequencies were .518 and .482 for alleles B and C. The numbers of phenotypes corresponded closely to expectations of Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. No evidence of linkage between the AmI locus and other genetic marker loci of blood and milk was detected.This publication has 12 references indexed in Scilit:
