Authors: S. D�­az, F.N. Dulout and P. Peral-Garc�­a

Genetic polymorphism was analyzed for five blood proteins: albumin - Al, esterase - Es, α1B-glycoprotein - Xk, transferrin - Tf and hemoglobin - Hb in 200 Thoroughbred (TB) and 124 Argentine Creole (AC) horses. Of the five systems examined, Tf and Hb were not in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium in either breed and Es was not i.. Read More»
