The aim of this paper was to verify the hypothesis whether carriers of genetic defect Brachyspina occur in the Polish Holstein-Friesian Cattle. PCR method was used to screen 78 Polish Holstein-Friesian bulls. Eight bulls were identified as heterozygotes for 3,3 kb deletion in the FANCI gene the mutation causing Brachyspina defect. All carriers were sons of 3 sires: Cleitus Jabot, Sandy-Valley Bolton ET and Coyne-Farms Dorcy ET which were descendants of the US sire Sweet Haven Tradition (HOUSAM 1682485). Systematic screening of young bulls having in the pedigree Barchyspina carrier is necessary to prevent spreading of the recessive mutation in the dairy cattle population in Poland.
