Abstract

The study of the subpopulation subdivision of the indigenous Kyrgyz breed of horses for Kyrgyzstan is important for assessing its genetic diversity, taking into account geographical location in the context of improving breeding work. To evaluate the intragroup genetic differentiation of Kyrgyz horses originating from two geographically isolated alpine experimental zones of Kyrgyzstan (Jeti-Oguz and Ton districts of Issyk-Kul oblast and Kara-Kuldzhinsky raion of Osh oblast), we used the genotyping results for 17 microsatellite loci recommended by ISAG ( AHT4, AHT5, ASB2, ASB17, ASB23, CA425, HMS1, HMS2, HMS3, HMS6, HMS7, HTG4, HTG6, HTG7, HTG10, LEX3, VHL20), and higher genetic diversity for horses from the Issyk-Kul region is shown. In general, the results obtained indicate a significant genetic potential and high genetic diversity of the breed of horses native to the Kyrgyz Republic.
