    The research aimed to genetically define the Piemontese beef breed its breeding guideline and morpho-functional typologies, using the individual multilocus genotypes of DNA microsatellites. It has been also examined the possibility that some alleles of microsatellites are efficient markers of morpho-functional phenotypes typical of beef animals. The results, with due caution, seem to corroborate the hypothesis on the relationships between microsatellite genotypes and somatic parameters; very interesting and statistically significant were also the relations between some alleles of microsatellites and single measurement. Further attention needs to be devoted to this working hypothesis, this research representing just a first step
