Abstract

The data was generated for 24 microsatellite in 3 buffalo populations/breeds viz; Bhadawari, Tarui and local buffaloes of Kerala. Both qualitative, as well as quantitative tests were conducted for testing the population for mutation-drift equilibrium.The data was analysed for heterozygosity excess and allelic distribution. Standardized difference test and Wilcoxon rank test being parametric were utilized in all the 3 mutation models to draw inferences. The TPM revealed Kerala buffaloes and Tarai buffaloes to have experienced populotion bottlenecks in the last 100-250.generation.The qualitative (graphical) test, however, did not exhibit and 'mode shift' distortion in all the 3 population of buffaloes and gave normal L-shaped curve.
