Abstract

BURÓCZIOVÁ, M., ŘÍHA, J., ŽIDEK, R., TRANDŽÍK, J., JAKABOVÁ, D.: Genetic structure of nine horse populations. Acta univ. agric. et silvic. Mendel. Brun., 2008, LVI, No. 2, pp. 57-60 In the present study was estimate the genetic diversity and relationships among nine horses breeds in Czech and Slovak Republic.In conclusion, the main objective of study was to show the level of genetic distance among the horse breeds with diff erent history of breeding of each country. Furthermore, it should be clarifi ed whether these populations and subpopulations are distinct enough from each other to justify defi ning separate breeds. This research concerns the variability of microsatellite markers in genotypes of horse.
