As a result of the intensive use of biotechnology in cattle breeding, the incidence of rare genetic defects in thepopulation has started to increase. Studies have focused on identifying cattle with hereditary defects using molecular methods. It is important to identify the carrier cattle in order to reduce genetic defects in subsequent generations. Brachyspina Syndrome (BS) and Cholesterol Deficiency (CD) had been identified in a previous study in Holstein Friesian cattle in Turkey. With regard to these two hereditary defects, in the study conducted to investigate samples were taken from the Holstein Friesian cattle reared in Eskişehir by using PCR teqnique. 3 and 11 cattle were found to be carriers of the BS and CD, respectively, among 112 Holstein Friesian cattle. The possibility of the spread of genetic defects and economic damage can be prevented using molecular techniques. The herds that are free of genetic defects be created by using some molecular methods detecting hereditary diseases, and by planning creation of new generations.
