| Summary: | <b>Aim:</b> In this study, it was aimed to detect hereditary defects
of bulls that imported their frozen semen to Turkey in 2015.<p>
<b>Materials and Methods: </b>As the source of knowledge, the
websites of various companies that produce frozen semen,
AI bull catalogs, and databases of bull semen companies have
been used.<p>
<b>Results:</b> The result of the research revealed that 1.334.827 of
4.566.553 semen had at least one genetic defects (29.23%).
In accordance with the procedures and principles with regard
to the import of “sperm, ovum and embryo” issued by
the Ministry, the sperms with haplotypes, which are banned
legally from entering the country, have been found out. At least
14% of bull semen had A1 beta-casein gene which threatens
human health. It had no got sufficient information about
the genetic structure of nearly half of the bulls.<p>
<b>Conclusion:</b> It may be stated that authorities should review
and update the list of genetic defects especially seen in Simmental
breed bulls stated in binding guidelines concerning
procedures and principles. |
