Abstract
Umblachery cattle was assessed genetically using 25 microsatellite markers, as
recommended by FAO. The number of alleles was ranging from 2 to 6 with a mean of
4.0 ± 0.11. The mean number of effective alleles were 2.91±0.09. The allele sizes were ranging
from 94 to 300 bp with the frequency distribution of 0.0111 to 0.9375. The estimated
heterozygosity value was high 0.6139 ± 0.02 and the PIC was 0.5625 ± 0.03 and the loci
screened were polymorphic and overall mean FE value (-0.0487) suggested the excess of
heterozygosity in the population.
