Genetic investigations and pedigree analysis in captive barbary sheep (Ammotragus lervia pallas 1777)

Abstract 10.1002/zoo.1430080306.abs The electrophoretic variation of blood proteins (hemoglobin, transferrin, adenylatekinase, and phosphoglucomutase) was studied in a population of 21 barbary sheep (Ammotragus lervia) living at Frankfurt Zoological Gardens.
