Population-wide analysis of a QTL affecting milk-fat production in the Israeli Holstein population
|
ABSTRACT
A population-wide linkage disequilibrium on bovine chromosome 14 between microsatellite ILSTS039 and DGAT1, a putative quantitative trait locus affecting milk production traits, was found in the Israeli Holstein population. A total of 394 bulls were genotyped for both DGAT1 and ILSTS039, and 1747 cows were genotyped for ILSTS039. The ILSTS039 allele termed "225," and the DGAT1 K allele (substitution of a lysine residue with alanine), were associated with decreased milk production, and increased fat production and fat and protein percent. The number of 225 ILSTS039 and K DGAT1 alleles ...
