Abstract excerpt
The polymorphism of 23 microsatellites in the four main cattle breeds in Belgium (Holstein Friesian, Belgian Blue, Belgian Red Pied and East Flemish) was analysed. Heterozygosity, polymorphism information content, the effective number of alleles, exclusion probability and the probability of genot...
