Short summary
Identification issues in livestock can be resolved by molecular identification tools that preserve and maintain pure breeds worldwide. In this study, 50 and 48 unrelated Cholistani and crossbred males, respectively, were sampled. Candidate genetic markers present in Cholistani but absent in crossbred and vice versa were detected using the amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) method. This study generated molecular breed-specific markers to identify the purity of the Cholistani breed.
