Abstract
TWO types of haemoglobin, designated Bov A and Bov B, have been identified in the blood of cattle by Bangham1. These are distinguished by their motility in paper electrophoresis; Bov A is the slow-moving and Bov B the fast-moving component. The type of haemoglobin which occurs in an animal is controlled by two simple allelic autosomal genes which give rise to three phenotypes A, AB and B.
