The above table reveals that there was
polymorphism in the kappa-casein gene but that the
BB-genotype frequency (0.968) was very much
higher than the AB genotype (0.032). The allelic
frequency of A-allele was estimated 0.984, indicating
that most buffalo population has allele (B) for higher
casein production. Similarly the AA genotype
frequency (0.008) for beta-lactoglobulin was far less
than the BB genotype (0.303) and the AB genotype
(0.586). Similarly the B-allele frequency (0.586)
was almost one and half times that of the A-allele
(0.36) for beta-lactoglobulin, indicating that buffaloes
in India are dominated by the B-allele for higher fat
production.
