During a survey of hemoglobin types in goats in the Republic of Malta a variant (Goat Hb D-Malta) was discovered which differs from normal goat Hb A by the substitution of an aspartyl residue in position beta 69 (E13) by a glycyl residue. The gene frequency of the beta D allele was 0.255; 29 homozygous Hb D goats were present among 327 animals sampled. Homozygous Hb D goats also produce Hb C, whose beta chains are the product of a non-allelic beta C structural gene. Goat Hb D-Malta has a distinctly decreased affinity for molecular oxygen.

“…INDIAN sheep show three distinct haemoglobin phenotypes, A, B and AB, resulting from two alleles, showing codominance (Khanolkar, Naik, Baxi and Bhatia, 1963;Ghosh, Eyal and Evans, 1965;Agar, Rawat and Roy, 1969;Arora, Kakar and Acharya, 1970a). An aberrant haemoglobin similar to Hb C reported earlier (Braend, Efremov and Helle, 1964;Van Vliet and Huisman, 1964), possibly a mutant of Hb A allele, has also been reported recently in an anaemic animal of the Nali breed (Arora, Kakar and Acharya, 1970b).…”

“…Two more haemoglobin types in adult sheep-Hb C and Hb D-have been reported (Blunt and Evans, 1963;van Vliet and Huisman, 1964;Braend, Efremov and Helle, 1964;Vaskov and Efremov, 1967). There are three reports on haemoglobin variants in Indian sheep (Khanolkar, Naik, Baxi and Bhatia, 1963;Ghosh, Eyal and Evans, 1965;Balani, Ranjekar and Barnabas 1968). However, these studies were based either on relatively small flocks or on flocks heterogeneous with respect to breed.…”

Haemoglobin types in three breeds of sheep were investigated. All three haemoglobin types-A, B and AB-were found to be present in the animals in two of the breeds examined, namely Bikaneri and Corriedale x Bikaneri (F t generation). Mandia sheep had only Hb B and Hb AB types. Haemoglobin JB animals predominated in all the three breeds, the Mandia breed having the highest percentage of these animals. The possible significance of these findings is discussed.
