Sažetak
In the present study, microsatellite data of 20 loci were generated and utilized to evaluate genetic variability of Croatian Spotted goat. Genetic variability was high, with means for expected gene diversity of 0.771, observed heterozygosity of 0.759, and 8.1 for total number of alleles per locus. There are no indications for deviations from random breeding within population. Level of inbreeding was only 2% and non- significant. The population was found to deviate significantly under infinitive allele model (IAM) and two phase model (TPM), while stepwise mutation model (SMM) and qualitative mode-shift test of allele frequencies indicate the absence of genetic bottleneck in the recent past in population of Croatian Spotted goat. High level of genetic diversity as it is presented in this study may be seen as an initial guide for conservation decisions in the future.
