ASSOCIATION OF POLYMORPHISM OF CHOOSEN GENES WITH PRODUCTION TRAITS IN DAIRY CATTLE
Journal Title: Folia Pomeranae Universitatis Technologiae Stetinensis Agricultura Alimentaria Piscaria et Zootechnica - Year 2018, Vol 46, Issue 341
Abstract
Polymorphisms of DGAT1, ABCG2, SCD1 and PPARGC1A genes significantly affect the milk, fat and protein yield and chemical composition of milk. Depending on the type of polymorphism, they increase or decrease the milk, fat and protein yield as well as fat and protein content in milk. Based on the research carried out by numerous authors, it can be concluded that genotyping animals for polymorphism of selected genes and using this information in breeding programs for selection supported by markers, which will allow the development of populations with the most desirable production characteristics is right.
