| Popis: | Cytogenetic investigations performed in eight Portuguese cattle breeds revealed the presence of rob(1;29) in both heterozygous and homozygous conditions in all, and five breeds, respectively, with variable percentages of carriers as follows: 41.0% in Arouquesa, 69.9% in Barrosa, 39.4% in Maronesa, 2.8% in Mirandesa, 8.5% in Marinhoa, 1.8% in Mertolenga, 21.3% in Raca Brava and 21.5% in Alentejana. CBA- and RBA-banding were performed to ascertain the chromosomes involved in the chromosome abnormality. A total of 1,626 animals were investigated. Reproductive parameters (number of calves per 100 cows) were higher in Mirandesa (80%) when compared with both Maronesa (75%) and Barrosa (70%) breeds, underlining that rob(1;29) reduces fertility in the carriers. |
