title: Robertsonian translocation in a Zebu bull.
abstract: Karyotypes were prepared for ten Rahaji bulls using cultured peripheral blood lymphocytes. C-banded metaphases were prepared to identify the sex chromosomes and possible translocations. Out of the ten bulls, studied one bull had a 2n number of 59 chromosomes and carried a Robertsonian translocation. The possible importance of the Robertsonian translocation in Zebu cattle in Nigeria is discussed.
