The study was conducted on 100 ewes of each breed. The authors identified 13 alleles of the gene in Polish Heath Seep and 9 in Polish Lowland Sheep. It was found marked differences in frequency of OMHC1 alleles between both breeds. The heterozygosity coefficient and PIC, amounting to 0.79 and 0.77 for Polish Heath Sheep, and 0.82 and 0.80 for Polish Lowland Sheep, respectively, suggest considerable variability in both breeds. Additionally, the values of both coefficients indicate that ONHC1 locus can be used a a genetic marker
