          Abstract

          The genetic variability of 22 protein loci was investigated in two sheep flocks: 22 females Romney Marsh and 124 animals derived from crossbreeding between Romney Marsh and Merino Booroola, reared by the Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation (Empresa Brasileira de Pesquisa Agropecuária -EMBRAPA, Bagé, RS, Brazil). Eight loci were polymorphic; the others showed no variation. The usefulness of the eight plymorphic systems (Cat, DIA I, EP-1, EsA, HbB, ME, Tf, and X Prot.) in parentage tests was analyzed. The probability to find two random identical animals in each breed was estimated as 1:1000. The efficiency of these proteins for exclusion of one of two possible sires in parentage tests was about 77% both for Romney Marsh and Romney/ Booroola flocks. Although parentage tests in sheep have not been enforced in Brazil up to now, the establishment of this technique is important for the prevention of non-paternity on the excellent rams.

          Investigou-se a variabilidade genética em 22 locos proteicos em uma amostra de 22 fêmeas Romney-Marsh e em 142 animais resultantes do cruzamento entre Romney-Marsh e Merino Booroola, criados pela Empresa Brasileira de Pesquisa Agropecuária (EMPRAPA, Bagé, RS, Brasil). Oito destes sistemas mostraram-se polimórficos, os demais não apresentando variação. Avaliou-se a eficiência destes oito sistemas proteicos polimórficos (Cat, DIA I, EP-1. EsA, HbB, ME, Tf e Prot. X ), no controle de filiação. A probabilidade de identidade entre dois animais retirados ao acaso da população foi estimada em 1:1000 em cada rebanho. A eficiência destes marcadores genéticos em excluir um entre dois possíveis pais foi de cerca de 77% tanto para os animais Romney Marsh como para os Romney/ Booroola. Testes de controle de paternidade, em ovinos, não têm sido realizados, até agora, no Brasil, mas o estabelecimento desta técnica seria importante para assegurar a paternidade da descendência de reprodutores zootecnicamente superiores.
