Herein, genetic relationships among five breeds of Bulgarian sheep were estimated using microsatellite markers. The total number of alleles identified was 226 at the 16 loci examined. D(A) distance values were used for phylogenetic tree construction with the UPGMA algorithm. The two Tsigai and two Maritza populations were found to be geneticallvery closely related to each other y (0.198, and 0.258 respectively). The Pleven Black Head population was distinct from the other four. These results could be useful for preserving genes in these breeds, thereby ensuring their preservation in Bulgaria.
本研究使用微卫星标记估计了保加利亚 5 个绵羊品种的遗传关系。在检测的 16 个位点上，共鉴定出 226 个等位基因。使用 D(A) 距离值，采用 UPGMA 算法构建了系统进化树。两个 Tsigai 和两个 Maritza 群体彼此之间遗传关系非常密切（分别为 0.198 和 0.258）。Pleven 黑头群体与其他四个群体不同。这些结果有助于保护这些品种的基因，从而确保它们在保加利亚的保存。
