Abstract
06Oct 2018 PRELIMINARY INVESTIGATION OF HEMOGLOBIN POLYMORPHISM AND ITS ASSOCIATION WITH SOME MORPHOMETRIC TRAITS AND HEMATOLOGICAL PARAMETERS OF SHEEP AND GOATS IN NORTHEASTERN LIBYA. Mabruka S. H. Sitmo and Ahmad A. A. Saad Department of Pharmacology and Physiology, Faculty of Veterinary medicine / Omar Al Mukhtar University, Libya. Department of Preventive Medicine and Public Health, Faculty of Veterinary medicine / Omar Al Mukhtar University, Libya.
Highlights
Local sheep and goats in northeastern Libya were studied for hemoglobin polymorphism
Discussion:Hemoglobin polymorphism is defined by expression of the three genotypes: two homozygote, Hb AA and Hb BB, and one heterozygous, Hb AB (Hrinca, 2008)
The Hb type BB was predominant in sheep under study. This result agrees with the reports of Templeton (1969) in different sheep breeds, Gootwine (1988) in Assaf sheep, Rodero et al (1996) in andalosian sheep, Al-Samarrae et al (2010) in different sheep breeds of Iraq, Nigussieet et al (2016) in indigenous sheep of Ethiopia, and Vazic et al (2017) in pramenka sheep
