DEPENDENCIES BETWEEN PRL GENE POLYMORPHISM AND PRODUCTION PROGRESS IN POLISH HOLSTEIN-FRIESIAN BLACK-AND-WHITE COWS
Journal Title: Folia Pomeranae Universitatis Technologiae Stetinensis Agricultura Alimentaria Piscaria et Zootechnica - Year 2017, Vol 44, Issue 338
Abstract
The aim of this study was to analyse dependencies between PRL gene polymorphism within exon 4 of bovine chromosome 23 (locus g.8398G>A), and the level of production progress in milk yield, yields of milk fat and milk protein in Polish Holstein-Friesian Black-and- -White cows. Results of this study indicate dependencies between genotype at locus g.8398G>A of the PRL gene and production progress in terms of milk yield as well as the yields of milk fat and milk protein. The greatest production progress and cumulative progress for milk yield as well as yields of milk fat and milk protein were shown for the AG heterozygotes at locus g.8398G>A, while the lowest values of analysed parameters were recorded for the AA homozygotes.

SLC27A1 GENE POLYMORPHISM ANALYSIS IN RELATION TO MILK PRODUCTION TRAITS IN JERSEY COWS
The aim was to establish possible associations between the g.14791C>T and g.14589A>G SNPs in the SLC27A1 gene and milk production traits as well as somatic cell count in milk of Jersey cows. No significant associations w...
THE POLYMORPHISM C9681T IN THE PROLACTIN RECEPTOR GENE AND FUNCTIONAL TRAITS OF DAIRY CATTLE
The study analyzed the polymorphism of single nucleotide substitution C9681T (A536V) type, located in exon 10 of prolactin receptor gene. The study was conducted in a herd of cattle of Polish Holstein-Friesian breed of b...
THE EFFECTIVENESS OF DISINFECTION METHODS ON GERMINATION OF GOJI SEEDS (Lycium barbarum L.) IN IN VITRO CULTURE
Using disinfectant components is one of main ways to control of fungal and bacterial contaminations in the in vitro culture. Alternative to commonly used chemicals is ozonation. The present study was focused on the effic...
WASTE FROM THE HARVESTING OF BUTTON MUSHROOM (Agaricus bisporus) AS A SOURCE OF NATURAL MELANIN
Natural melanins are of great potential value and application in the fields of pharmacology, cosmetics and functional foods. In the present study, natural melanin was reclaimed from waste after the harvesting of button m...
CAUSES FOR CULLING AND REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM DISORDERS IN JERSEY COWS IN THE REPRODUCTIVE PERIOD
The aim of this study was to analyse culling causes and determine reproductive health disorders in Jersey cows in the reproduction period in a herd from the Wielkopolska region. Analyses were conducted on 331 Jersey cows...
