The study
showed the genetic relationship between the
four breeds of goats i.e. Boer and Boer-
Feral were grouped together in one cluster
while Katjang and Jamnapari were grouped
in another cluster. The Boer goats differed
genetically from the local Katjang or
Jamnapari goats in as1-casein gene. Future
studies will be carried out to establish the
correlation of the A, B and C alleles with
concentration of casein protein in the milk
of these goat breeds. These as1-casein alleles
may be a useful genetic marker for selection
of goats for high casein content in milk.
