Electrophoresis showed the occurrence of four hemoglobin phenotypes, i.e., A, AB and AC. The alelle frequencies for this system were 91.85%, 7.89%and 0.26% for alelles HBA, HBB and HBC, respectively. The phenotypes observed for the carbonic anhydrase system were S, FS, F, SZ and FZ, with alelle frequencies of 81.83%, 12.84% and 5.33% for CAS, CAF and CAZrespectively. The chi-square test showed that this herd is in Castle-Hardt-Weinberg equilibrium for the hemoglobin and carbonic anhydrase systems. The different phenotypes had no significant effect on reproduction, production or heat tolerance. aBovino aGenética aFujificacao sanguinea aPitangueira1 aLOBO, R. B.1 aMORTARI, N.1 aDUARTE, F. A.
