In order to improve local cattle breeds in India, male cattle were procured from Australia. All imported male cattle had white skin (genotype bb). These were further bred with indigenous Indian female cattle having black skin (genotype B B or B b ). It was found that approximately 25 % cattle of the F1 generation died soon after birth due to heart defects. The heart defects were found to be associated with either of
