Summary

The haemoglobin variants in 371Hariana and 39Hariana cross with local breed (Desi) were studied using the starch gel electrophoresis technique. Five different haemoglobin types were observed viz. HbBB, HbBG, HbBA, HbCA and HbAA. Out of these, HbBG has not been reported previously in Indian cattle. The age and sex were found to have no significant effect on the occurrence of haemoglobin types. The population was found to be in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.
