Summary Within the frame of our investigations on genetic variation of pig red cell enzymes, by means of enzymo‐electrophoresis and spectrophotometric measurements, four kinds of adenosine deaminase phenotypic patterns were identified in haemolysates from 542 Belgian Landrace and 502 Pietrain pigs. Segregation data are consistent with the hypothesis that these phenotypes are determined by two codominant alleles ADA A and ADA B and a recessive silent allele ADA O , at an autosomal locus. Differences in gene frequencies between the two breeds are highly significant.
