Random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD), employing 22 arbitrary primers, was used to investigate the genetic polymorphism among and within four breeds of Sudanese Autochthonous cattle. The breeds chosen were Western Baggara (Nialawy), Nilotic (Majock), Butana and Kenana. The DNA samples from 60 animals, representing the four populations, were collected from the breeds homelands. The level of polymorphism among the four populations was 51.5%, while 22.9%, . 36.8%, 24.4% and 41.4% polymorphism were recorded within each of the above four breeds, respectively. This study lends support to the view that there are major genetic differences between these four local cattle populations
