| Abstract | ||||
| The Egyptian cattle populations, especially the Egyptian Menufi and Saidi populations with a wider distribution across the Nile valley and delta, is possessing high genetic variability. Information about comparison between the groups of Egyptian cattle population in Egypt based their genetic distance values provide some benefits for the Egyptian government to design future conservation and breeding programs as well as enrich the Egyptian cattle genetic resources. The study is indicating that the analyzed three Egyptian and BalTar crossbred have been genetically differentiated in line with their geographical separations. In all likelihood there has been just minimal hereditary trade among the Egyptian populations. The microsatellite markers utilized as a part of this work was for the most part appropriate in surveying genetic diversity in the Egyptian cattle populations analyzed, uncovering elevated amounts of genetic variability, assessed by both the number of alleles and heterozygosity. | ||||
