Abstract: We conducted genetic analysis of Ukraine farm animals by different types of molecular genetic markers. Present data of frequency occurrence allelic variants of the kappa-casein, beta-lactoglobulin, growth hormone, pituitary-specific transcription factor, leptin, progesterone receptor and myostatin gene among different breeds of dairy catlle, meat cattle, rabbits and their impact on the performance of dairy productivity, meat productivity and reproductive ability. Shown shows the informativeness of using microsatellite DNA sequences and genome region between microsatellite loci to establish genetic differentiation, assessment of genetic diversity different cattle and rabbits breeds.
