Abstract:

Summary Cattle reagents were used to blood type 158 water buffalo originating from Central Romania. Out of 36 cattle blood group factors which could be identified with the available reagents only 13 were present in the buffalo. Three genotypes at the Tf locus in buffaloes were identified by starch gel electrophoresis: TfBB, Tf BC and TfCC. At the Hb locus, only one phenotype Hb A was identified in all samples showing two bands a fast and a slow one. These data indicate a certain homology between cattle and water buffalo.Summary Electrophoretic analysis of 794 individual samples of water buffalo hemoglobin shows the presence of three phenotypes, AA, AB and BB. Phenotype AA has only the fast hemoglobin (Hb-fast). Phenotype AB and BB have the fast as well as the slow hemoglobin (Hb-slow). The quantitative ratio Hb-fast: Hb-slow is approximately 68:32 in BB and 84:16 in AB. Several genetic mechanisms are discussed in the light of the biochemical and family data provided.
