Molecular characterization of Nimari cattle was done for genetic variability study, using fluorescently labeled microsatellite markers as per the recommendation of the FAO and NBAGR, Karnal. Nimari cattle is an important drought-purpose breed of India, which needs urgent conservation due to its declining population in its breeding tract. Number of alleles, allelic frequency, heterozygosity, Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium and polymorphism information content (PIC) revealed higher genetic variability and polymorphism within breed. A total of 206 alleles were observed out of 24 microsatellite markers analyzed with mean of 8.58. Bottleneck analysis revealed no genetic bottleneck in Nimari population.
