Abstract excerpt
(1) Genetic distances and heterozygosity were determined in 5 Iranian native chickens: Dashtyary, Lary, Marandy, Naked neck and Common breed, using three blood group systems (A, B and D) and 4 serum protein loci (albumin, transferrin, alkaline phosphatase and esterase). (2) The highest D(A) and D(S) were obtained between Dashtyary and Lary breeds. (3) The average heterozygosity for each breed in all loci ranged...
