The allele pool study of Bashkiria population of Simmental cattle using twelve microsatellite loci comparing to pure breed (Novosibirsk, Orel and Austrian) and holstenized populations was carried out. It was shown that Bashkiria population comparing to other pure breed populations under relative low level of genetic diversity (7.08±0.72 against 7.08-8.83 alleles per loci) was characterized by the highest number of effective alleles (4.11±0.37 against 3.17-4.00 alleles per loci). The differences among population (Fst) were 3.9 per cent. The highest contribution of Bashkiria population into the total variability of microsatellites was shown. The highest value of similarity coefficient (Q) of individuals of Bashkiria population comparing to other populations was observed: 84.6±2.2 against 36.3-74.9 per cent. The phylogenetic analysis showed the forming of the separate branch of Bashkiria population on the genealogical tree.
