Veteriner Fakültesi Hayvan Besleme ve Beslenme Hastalıkları Anabilim Dalı, Afyonkarahisar - In this study, it was aimed to reveal the possibilities of using different originated Anatolian water buffaloes and Murrah X Anatolian F1 crosses in developing a new high yielding and adaptable genotype. Differences between groups were significant for milk yield and its constituents (P<0.05). Murrah X Anatolian F1 crosses and Middle Black Sea region originated buffaloes gave the highest milk yields (1200.62 and 1106.10 kg). The overall means for milk, fat, protein, lactose, solid nonfat and lactation length were 1000.66 kg, 69.02 kg (%6.9), 39.75 kg (%3.97), 56.96 kg (%5.69), 104.72 (%10.46) kg and 229.43 days respectively. This herd was generally monomorphic in genes of Cappa -casein (CSN3), Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription 5A (STAT 5A), Prolactin (PRL), Growth Hormone Releasing Hormone (GHRH), Leptin (LEP), Growth Hormone Factor 1 (Pit1) and Oestrogen Receptor Alfa (ERα). A polymorphism was detected in the Growth Hormone Receptor (GHR) gene. It was concluded that different originated Anatolian buffaloes were well adapted to the conditions of Afyonkarahisar province and especially buffaloes from Middle Black Sea region and Murrah X Anatolian F1 crosses could be used to increase the yields of indigenous buffaloes.
