Abstract
In this study, prolactin gene polymorphism was investigated in Nili‐ Ravi buffaloes, Sahiwal and Achai cattle breeds, 100 per group, using polymerase chain reaction–restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR‐RFLP) technique. Only genotype GG was observed in the case of Nili‐Ravi buffaloes. In Sahiwal and Achai cattle, three genotypes were found, AA, AG and GG: the frequency of these genotypes were 72%, 18% and 10% in Sahiwal cattle and 44%, 34% and 22% in Achai cattle, respectively. The frequency of genotype AA was found to be higher in both cattle breeds. Results of chi‐square test at P < 0.05 revealed that animals of Achai cattle were in Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium, whereas Sahiwal cattle were found to be deviating.
