The objective of our study was to examine the genetic differences and genetic variation between the lines of heavy-type Zemaitukai horses. The main study was conducted in 1996-2003 at LVA Institute of Animal Science. The pedigree, gene frequencies of blood group and serum protein markers, homozygosity, and genetic similarities was analysed from 83 horses. The genetic analysis of alleles indicated that A1supAB genotype was dominant of heavy-type zemaitukai, genotype TfsupFF were also frequent. The alleles D supdghm, D supcgm, D supdk, D supdl in blood group system were also frequent. The frequency of alleles D supdk and Es sup11 of Kalmanas line was distinguishing feature and statistical reliable (P0.01) from other lines. Horses of Kalmanas line have the highest degree of homozygosity Ca
