KERAGAMAN DNA MIKROSATELIT BM415 DAN BM4621 PADA DOMBA KOMPOSIT (SUMATRA X BARBADOS BLACKBELLY X ST. CROIX)

Abstract: The  forming  of  composite  breed  sheep  were  expected  to  able  adapted  with  damp  and  tropical  environment, reproduction  during  the  year  and  have  good  growth  rate.  The  genetic  variations  of  composite  sheep  form  to  be analysed in this research  using  microsatellite DNA  marker. This research  was to determine the allele variation of microsatellite DNA in composite sheep by PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) using primers BM415 and BM4621 and the relation among litter size, litter weight at lambing and at weaning, and genotype frequency in each primer. The  PCR  products  were  visualized  on  PAGE  8%  (Polyacrilamid  Gel  Electrophoresis)  using  silver  staining.  The result  showed  that  composite  breed  sheep  population  exhibited  the  high  genotype  variation,  high  allele  variation and high heterozigosity. Loci BM415 showes 11 genotypes which identified 9 alleles, were dominated EI (22,73%) and  E  (21,01%).  Loci  BM4621  showes  11  genotypes  which  identified  11  alleles,  DI  and  GK  genotypes  and  G allele  show  high  frequency  (17,05%  and  20,45%  repectively).  BM415  and  BM4621  loci  showe  heterozigosity value  of  0,851437  and  0,892905.  The  average  heterozigosity  between  two  locies  were  0,872171.  Heterozigosity and  average heterozigosity value showed that the composite sheep population in Stasiun Percobaan Cilebut, Balai Peternakan  Bogor  has  high  variability.  Genotype  was  not  significantly  different  (P>0,05)  with  litter  size,  litter weight at lambing and at weaning.
