dc.description.abstractGoat is a multi-functional animal and plays a significant role in the economy and nutrition of landless, small and marginal farmers in India. India has 23 recognized goat breeds adapted to different agro-climatic conditions. These different goat breeds represent important genetic resources because of their special economic and ecological characteristics. Tamil Nadu is situated in southern part of India and bestowed with Kanni Adu, Kodi Adu and Salem Black goat breeds (Acharya 1982, Thiruvenkadan et al. 2000, Thiruvenkadan and Karunanithi 2006, Thiruvenkadan 2012). These breeds are well adapted to their environment and are important economic resource. Genetic variation within and between breeds is warranted to differentiate them on a genetic basis. The resulting genetic information may assist in choosing the best conservation and improvement options for these genetic resources. Advances in biotechnology offer possibilities of improving, utilizing and conserving present domestic animal diversity. Molecular markers have been shown to be an efficient tool in quantification of genetic diversity of various populations. Microsatellite markers are best suited to characterize the genetic variability within and between populations because of their high variability, distribution throughout the genome, co-dominant inheritance and neutrality to selection (Boyce et al. 1996).en_US
