چکیده

The study was conducted to find the association of -Lactoglobulin locus with the milk performance traits in 157 lactating Sahiwal cows maintained at Cattle yard, NDRI, Karnal. Two different variants of -Lactoglobulin were detected from DNA by PCR-RFLP. It was found that the frequency of B allele was predominantly high (0.84± 0.03) than that of A allele (0.16± 0.03) in the population studied. Among the genotypes, BB was observed in 106 animals, whereas AB in 51 animals only. The genotype AA was not found in any of the animals. The statistical analysis showed non-significant effect of lactoglobulin genotypes on milk yield, milk fat percentage, SNF percentage, milk fat yield and milk SNF yield. Therefore, -lactoglobulin locus was less informative in the selection of animals for higher yields of fat, SNF and milk. DNA based markers were of the better choice since animals could be screened at very early age instead of waiting for animals to come in milk.

The aim of the present study was to screen the genotype profile of bovine kappa-casein gene among Frieswal (HF × Sahiwal) crossbred cattle developed in India. A total number of two hundred Frieswal cows were evaluated for HinfI RFLP based genotyping of kappa-casein gene. We observed that only two genotypes (AA and AB) exist among the studied population with the genotype frequency of 0.58 (n=117...

Mapping and analysis of dairy cattle quantitative trait loci by maximum likelihood methodology using milk protein genes as genetic markers.

Maximum likelihood methodology was used to estimate effects of both a marker gene and a linked quantitative trait locus (QTL) on quantitative traits in a segregating population. Two alleles were assumed for the QTL. In addition to the effects of genotypes at both loci on the mean of the quantitative trait, recombination frequency between the loci, frequency of the QTL alleles and the residual s...

Status of β-casein (CSN2) Polymorphism in Frieswal (HF X Sahiwal Crossbred) Cattle

Cow milk is a rich source of protein and selected micronutrients such as calcium. Recently, a relationship between disease risk and consumption of a specific bovine β-casein fraction either A1 or A2 genetic variants has been identified. Polymorphism at codon 67 of the beta-casein gene: CCT→CAT causes a substitution of amino acid proline (in A2 variant) by histidine (in A1 variant). The presence...
