AI Article Synopsis
- The study examined the phenotypic and genotypic traits of Pinzgauer cattle from different elevations in the Carpathian Mountains, focusing on lowland, highland, and alpine farms.
- High variability in blood groups among the cattle was discovered, indicating diverse genetic characteristics within these populations.
- The genetic structure of the highland Pinzgauer group showed similarities to Brown Carpathian cattle, likely due to shared ecological and geographical environments.
Article Abstract
Phenotypic and genotypic characteristics of groups of Pinzgauer cattle bred at lowland, highland, and alpine farms in the Carpathian Mountains were studied. A high variation of the cattle with respect to blood groups was revealed. It was found that the genetic structure of the highland group of Pinzagauer cattle was somewhat similar to that of Brown Carpathian cattle with respect to biochemical genetic systems, mainly transferrin and amylase-I loci. It is thought that the similarity found may be accounted for by close ecological and geographical breeding conditions of the groups of cattle studied.
