Abstract

The multilocus probe pV47 detected an average of nine bands in cattle between 23 kb and 4 kb. Band sharing was estimated for three groups of unrelated animals. The first group comprised 20 individuals of 12 different breeds, the second group 10 individuals of the Swiss Simmental population and the third group 11 individuals of the Swiss Brown Swiss population. The band sharing probabilities were 33%, 42% and 58% respectively. The DNA fingerprints of 38 offspring with a total of 277 bands revealed no bands that could not be traced to the parents.
