USE OF STR LOCI POLYMORPHISM FOR PREDICTING EQUINE ATHLETIC PERFORMANCE
Abstract
The potential of a riding horse can be determined by its athletic performance. In general, horse performance belongs to the traits of complex polygenic nature and has a fairly low inheritance coefficient (0.11-0.13), which prompts the search for the most effective (in economic and breeding terms) ways of early prediction of this trait. This paper contains the results of evaluation of performance of riding horses depending on the presence of certain alleles in 17 microsatellite DNA loci. Horses with alleles K (AHT5), Q (ASB2), J (ASB23), I (CA425), M (CA425), H (HMS2), M (HMS2), J (HMS3) in the corresponding microsatellite loci showed the best athletic performance. The revealed peculiarities are recommended to be used for predicting the athletic performance of horses at an early age, replacement selection in the absence of the possibility of conducting factory tests in farms, culling and sale of unpromising for breeding and sport young stock.
