The present study investigated the use of the random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) method to detect genetic variation in cattle and sheep. The animals studied consisted of samples from five Finnish cattle breeds: native Eastern (18 animals), Northern (24), Western Finncattle (24), Finnish Ayrshire (24), and Finnish Friesian (18); as well as a white (6 animals) and a grey (9) colour type of Finnsheep.
