Statistical Modeling of Candidate Gene Effects on Milk Production Traits in Dairy Cattle
|
ABSTRACT
A major objective of dairy cattle genomic research is to identify genes underlying the variability of milk production traits that could be useful in breeding programs. The candidate gene approach provides tools for searching for causative polymorphisms affecting quantitative traits. Genes with a possible effect on milk traits in cattle can be involved in different physiological pathways, such as triglyceride synthesis [acyl-CoA:diacylglycerol acyltransferase 1 gene (DGAT1)], f...

Association of the Protease Inhibitor Gene with Production Traits in Holstein Dairy Cattle
Journal of Dairy Science
; ABSTRACT Positional, comparative candidate gene analysis and previous quantitative trait loci linkage mapping results were used to search for candidate genes affecting milk production and reproduction traits in dairy cattle. The protease inhibitor (PI) gene was chosen for examination, and 5 single

Invited Review: Prevalence of Shiga Toxin-Producing Escherichia coli in Dairy Cattle and Their Products
Journal of Dairy Science
; ABSTRACT The main objective of this review was to assess the role of dairy cattle and their products in human infections with Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC). A large number of STEC strains (e.g., members of the serogroups O26, O91, O103, O111, O118, O145, and 0166) have caused major
