Résumé

Par le photomètre Flame la concentration du potassium dans le sang de 102 moutons marvaris (4 mâles, 49 femelles et leurs 49 descendants) a été mesuré. Sur ce nombre, 45 appartiennent au type HK (à forte concentration, moyenne 30,34 mEq/l — de 24,97 à 37,12) et 27 au type LK (à faible concentration, moyenne 9,72 mEq/l, — de 6,40 à 12,80). Le caractère HK est donc héréditaire récessif tandis que les individus de type LK sont peut-être homozygotes ou héterozygotes.
