Abstract

By means of paper electrophoresis Cabannes and Serain (1955) and Harris and Warren (1955) detected polymorphism of sheep haemoglobin. Three phenotypes explained by two alleles were found. Evans et al. (1956) called the two genes Hb^A and Hb^B where Hb^A controls the fastest moving component. Braend et al. (1964) and Braend and Efremov (1964) reported a new sheep haemoglobin which was named N. This has a slower rate of migration on starch gels than Hb B. The Hb N was found in sheep having the Hb^A gene, but not in all. It was variously expressed and if present usually found in small quantities. Extensive investigations have been carried out to see if the alleles Hb^A and Hb^B have any selective advantages and if they may be correlated with economical important traits (see Ogden 1961).

These investigations were supported in part by a research grant from the Agricultural Research Council of Norway.
