Abstract

The work presents the results of a comparative analysis of the gene pool diversity of a man-made population (herd) of an elk farm and two natural populations from Kostroma and Yaroslavl regions (Russia) using microsatellite loci (3 populations, 169 samples, 9 microsatellite loci). A significant reduction in the diversity of alleles (number of alleles per locus) in the farm elk population compared to the natural populations is found. The need to rehabilitate the gene pool of the elk farm population is shown.

Keywords: Elk farm, population, gene pool rehabilitation
