ABSTRACT LAMBIO, IVY AMOR F. University of the Philippines Los Banos, October 1998. Protein Polymorphism in Five Genetic Groups of 11 Philippine Native Chicken.

Adviser: Dr. Adelina A. Barrion

A total of 48 blood samples were randomly collected from one year old adult males of 5 genetic groups of Philippine native chickens namely: Banaba from Batangas, Bolinao from Pangasinan, Camarines from Sorsogon, Cebu from Cebu, and Paraoakan from Palawan. Based on the genotypes of plasma prealbumin (Pa), albumin (Alb) and transferrin (Tf) which were identified through the vertical electrofocusing technique utilizing polyacrylamide gel (PAGE), the genetic distance between every pair of population was determined and a dendrogram was drawn. Results showed that polymorphism is exhibited within and across genetic groups of the native chickens. Higher gene frequencies were noted in PaA than in PaB in Camarines (0.75), Bolinao (0.60) and Banaba (0.55). Equal frequencies were noted in each of the Pa' and Pa' of Cebu and Paraoakan. Slight differences in frequencies were noted on the AlbB and Albc among genetic groups considered. For transferring, higher frequencies of Tfc noted on Bolinao (0.70), Camarines (0.65) and Banaba (0.55) Cebu and Paraokan genetic groups showed equal frequencies for TfB and Tfc.
