Abstract
Allelic frequencies of 7 blood groups and 8 protein systems were determined in 6 herds of Criollo horse breed raised in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. Analysis of these frequencies showed a significant isolation component (Fst = 0.0866; p<0.01) and construction of dendogram using Nei´s D confirmed this difference among the 6 herds. The highest values measuring genetic variability on 15 blood types were average heterozygosity: 0.4631; total number of alleles: 87 and probability of exclusion: 98%. When all herds were considered together, the inbreeding level (Fis) was zero. These results indicate that the Criollo horses have a large genetic variability.
