AUTOZYGOSITY ISLAND RESULTING FROM ARTIFICIAL SELECTION IN SLOVAK SPOTTED CATTLE

Genetic diversity in populations of Slovak Spotted cattle based on single nucleotide polymorphisms analyses.

The aim of this study was to identify SNPs in leptin (LEP), leptin receptor (LEPR) and growth hormone (GH) genes in order to analyze genetic diversity of Slovak Spotted cattle. The total numbers of blood samples were taken from 353 Slovak Spotted cows originating from four farms. Genomic DNA was isolated by phenol-chloroform extraction method and analyzed by PCR-RFLP method. After digestion wit...

Economic weights of Holstein cattle in Slovak dairy production system

This work presented economic weights (EWs) calculated for Holstein cattle raised in Slovak dairy productions using a bio-economic approach. EWs are calculated for alternatives with (A) and without (B) market quota. Both alternatives included three market payment systems of milk (base price per milk value was corrected according to content of fat, protein and somatic cells). Marginal EWs for mil...
