Inheritance of Bovine Transferrin Types as Determined by Disc Electrophoresis¹

Department of Dairy Science Ohio State University, Columbus

ABSTRACT

Conclusions: From an evaluation of the transferrin type of 520 sire-dam-progeny combinations in the London herd, it was concluded that transferrin type is inherited as a three-multiple-allele system with no dominance operative.

Based on evaluation and analysis of blood samples collected from 31 calves at different ages, it was concluded that transferrin type remains constant during the early life of an animal and there is little reason to suspect changes in later life. There is also indication from the gene frequencies of 22 male and 39 female calves that sex of calf does not influence transferrin type.
