Summary Three NADH diaphorase phenotypes were observed in the red cells of sheep. Breeding data indicated that this polymorphism was under the control of two autosomal co‐dominant alleles, designated Dia F and Dia s . Phenotype Dia F had significantly lower NADH diaphorase activity than phenotype Dia S. The frzquency of Dia F and Dia S was determined in 9 different breeds.
