Abstract

The genetic diversity existing between exotic and indigenous breed are being explored to increase the productivity in dairy cattle.  Efforts are being made to develop a bred of dairy cattle suitable to the particular environment and economical niches using different breeds or crossbreds.  In evolving a new breed it is essential to identify the genetic diversity between different crosses produced so that decision on pooling different genetic group or on selecting a particular genetic group for the particular area suitable to ecnomical niches can be taken.
