title: Distribution of transferrin alleles in a population of Polish Merino sheep in the region of lower Silesia.
abstract: The frequency of 5 alleles of transferrins: TfA, TfB, TfC, TfD, TfE, forming 13 phenotypes found, was calculated for Polish Merino sheep. The high participation of allele TfD = 0.5464 was found. Remaining frequencies were: TfA = 0.2780, TfB = 0.0074, TfC = 0.1561, TfE = 0.0121. Investigated population in the number of 948 was in the state of genetic equilibrium, described by Hardy-Weinberg's rule.
