SummaryRed blood cell electrolyte levels and haemoglobin types have been determined in flocks of Peppin Merino sheep genetically different for clean fleece weight and crimp frequency. The flocks selected for high clean fleece weight or low crimp frequency had significantly higher mean erythrocyte potassium levels than did those flocks selected for low clean fleece weight or high crimp frequency, this difference was apparent in both haemoglobin AB and BB types. Erythrocyte potassium concentration was not correlated with either clean fleece weight or crimp frequency within flocks. The high clean fleece weight flock had a significantly higher gene frequency for high potassium than did the low clean fleece weight flock, while the high crimp frequency flock had a lower haemoglobin B gene frequency than the low crimp frequency flock.
