markers Online
J Vet Res, 10 (2) : 156-161, 2006 Tellicherry goats were
characterized by FAO recommended
microsatellite markers. All 21 loci were
highly
polymorphic with PIC values ranging from 0.5785 to 0.8349. Significant
differences (P<0.01) were noticed between observed and expected
proportions
of genotypes at 14 loci in the Tellicherry
population
studied. The highest expected heterozygosity
value
was 0.8504 and lowest was 0.6445 in this breed.
