Abstract
|
|
|
|
This study was conducted to survey red blood cell (RBC) antigens Aa, Ca and Qa types, which are considered to be the most significantly associated with occurrence of neonatal isoerythrolysis, and the results are expected to provide valuable informations in organization of breeding plan, hence preventing the disease. Blood samples were collected from 262 Thoroughbred horses in Jeju island. Two percent cell suspension has been prepared from each sample and they were tested by indirect antiglobulin test. Of the 226 mare"s samples, 9(3.98%) were Aa negative, 8(3.54%) were Ca negative, 17(7.52%) were Qa negative. Of the 36 Stallion"s samples, 1(2.78%) was Aa negative, 3(8.33%) were Ca negative, 3(8.33%) were Qa negative. On the basis of these data, a database for breeding compatability could be set, and it would play an important role as a reference for arranging the mating partners.
