Abstract excerpt
This study aims to assess the genetic diversity and population structure of two major zebu dairy breeds (Tharparkar and Rathi) adapted to the arid region of Rajasthan state of India. Various variability estimates indicate the existence of sufficient within-breed genetic diversity. Mean estimates of F-statistics are significantly different from zero: F (IS) = 0.112 +/- 0.029, F (IT) = 0.169 +/- 0.033, F (ST) =...
