Albumin polymorphism in British cattle
SUMMARYA survey of albumin polymorphism in the major breeds of cattle in the British Isles is described. Four and probably five alleles have been found. AlbA is the common type in all breeds. AlbB occurs with less than 1 % frequency in all breeds except Sussex and Charolais, where it has a frequency of 12% and 16% respectively. The possible implications of this finding are discussed. The other alleles AlbC(Ed) and AlbD are extremely rare, and are confined to a few animals each within one breed. AlbG has been tentatively proposed as the name for a new albumin type.
