Abstract
Phenotypic and genotypic characteristics of groups of Pinzgauer cattle bred at lowland, highland, and alpine farms in the Carpathian Mountai ns were studied, A high variation of the cattle with respect to blood groups was revealed. It was found that the genetic structure of the hi ghland group of Pinzgauer cattle was somewhat similar to that of Brown Carpathian cattle with respect to biochemical genetic systems, mainly transferrin and amylase-I loci. It is thought that the similarity fou nd may be accounted for by close ecological and geographical breeding conditions of the groups of cattle studied.
