Barrosa cattle, reared in the north of Portugal primarily for meat production, number about 40,000 (about 6% of all cattle in Portugal). Their fertility (number of calves per 100 cows) varies from 60% to 80% and is lower than that of other Portuguese cattle breeds. 195 animals (28 males and 167 females), randomly selected from a large area, were sampled for cytogenetical investigation. The results were the following: (a) 68 (34.9%) animals (7 males and 61 females) had normal karyotypes; (b) 127 (65.1%) were found to be carriers of rob(1; 29), as shown by G- and R-banding; (c) 102 (52.3%) animals (17 (8.7%) males and 85 (43.6%) females) were heterozygous carriers; (d) 25 (12.8%) animals (4 (2%) males and 21 (10.8%) females) were homozygous carriers. C-banding patterns revealed one block of constitutive heterochromatin (HC) in the proximal q-arm region of the translocated chromosome.
巴罗萨牛主要饲养在葡萄牙北部用于肉类生产,数量约为40000头(约占葡萄牙所有牛的6%)。它们的繁殖力(每100头母牛产犊数量)在60%至80%之间,低于其他葡萄牙牛品种。从大片区域随机选取195头动物(28头雄性和167头雌性)进行细胞遗传学调查。结果如下:(a) 68头(34.9%)动物(7头雄性和61头雌性)具有正常核型;(b) 通过G带和R带分析发现,127头(65.1%)是1; 29罗伯逊易位携带者;(c) 102头(52.3%)动物(17头(8.7%)雄性和85头(43.6%)雌性)是杂合携带者;(d) 25头(12.8%)动物(4头(2%)雄性和21头(10.8%)雌性)是纯合携带者。C带分析显示,易位染色体近端q臂区域有一个组成型异染色质(HC)块。
