Here is a table of animal blood groups transcribed from the notes of an
Immunogenetics class I took. Sorry, but I don't have the reference, so
this data may be outdated:
TABLE 1 -- Approximate number of blood factors (alloantigenic
determinants) and blood group systems in animals.
No. of Appx. no. of
Species Blood Groups Blood Factors
--------- ------------ -------------
Cattle 11 80+
Pigs 15 65+
Sheep 8 30+
Chickens 12 30+
Horses 8 30+
Bison 7 15+
Dogs 11 15+
Turkeys 6 12+
Cats 1 2
Camelidae 1 1
Concerning an earlier post, If I'm thinking of the same journal, "Animal
Blood Groups and Biochemical Genetics" is now simply titled "Animal
Genetics". It's a good source for info on domestic animal blood groups
and MHC.
