² Ankara Üniversitesi Veteriner Fakültesi Zootekni Anabilim Dalı Ankara - This study was conducted to determine some morphologic traits, blood groups and serum protein polymorphism of horses imported from Hungary to Turkey. Wither height, body length and cannon bone circumferences of Hungarian horses was found as 161-163, 163-166 and 17.6-18.4 cm, respectively. It was found out that the Hungarian horses had a strong skeletal and muscle structure. The blood groups of horses were determined by hemolysis technique and they were localized in A, D, P, Q and U systems and had 16 different phenotypes. Albumin structures found out in starch gel elektroforesis occured in 3 phenotypes (Al FS, SS, FS), that were determined by Al^F,S alleles. In the study, 4 phenotypes (II, IS, FF, FI) in Esterase loci, 2 phenotypes (FF, FS) in Gc loci, 2 phenotypes (KK, KS) in Xk loci and 15 phenotypes in transferrin loci were determined by polyacrilamid gel elektroforesis. Al^F,S, Es^F,I,S, Gc^F,S, Xk^K,S, Tf^{D,H,H2,F1,F2,O,R} allelle frequencies were calculated as 0.32 and 0.68; 0.06, 0.88 and 0.06; 0.97 and 0.03; 0.98 and 0.02; 0.28, 0.17, 0.05, 0.12, 0.22, 0.10 and 0.12 respectively. As a result, it was found out that the Hungarian horses had the important morphologic characteristics of the horses like Arabian, Troughbred, Holstein and Hanover. Hungarian horses also resemble to these horses with their blood groups and serum proteins. Hungarian horses are available to be police horses because of having a huge and strong body structure. Therefore, Hungarian horses can be used in the production programs that will be done in the future. Keywords : Hungarian horse, morphologic traits, blood group, protein polymorphism
