Kajian keragaman karakter eksternal dan DNA mikrosatelit sapi pesisir di Sumatera Barat

Abstract

Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk (1) mempelajari keragaman ukuran-ukuran tubuh, warna dan pola warna bulu tubuh, (2) memperoleh database beberapa karakter kuantitatif bobot tubuh dan ukuran-ukuran tubuh, (3) mempelajari kekerabatan dan keragaman genetik antar subpopulasi sapi Pesisir di Sumatera Barat berdasarkan polimorfisme enam lokus DNA mikrosatelit.

The objectives of this study were (1) to study the variability of body size, colour and colour coat patterns, (2) to generate the database of the body weight and body sizes, and (3) to study the relationship and grouping among Pesisir Selatan, Padang Pariaman and Agam subpopulation. The study was also to describe the genetic variability between Pesisir Selatan and Agam subpopulations of Pesisir cattle in West Sumatera based on the polimorphism of six DNA microsatellites loci.
