Malabari goat populations of Tanur, Thalassery and Badagara were studied for blood protein polymorphisms to investigate the similarities and differences between these populations. Two variants for transferrin (TfA and Tf B) were detected with a predominance of TfA in the population. All the goats from Thalassery population belonged to Tf AA type. In the present study only two phenotypes as regards transferrin locus could be observed, (Tf AA and Tf AB ) with the notable absence of TfBB . No polymorphism was observed for albumin, cerruloplasmin, amylase and carbonic anhydrase loci in all the animals tested.
