Effects of the c.8514C > T polymorphism in the osteopontin gene (OPN) on milk production, milk composition and disease susceptibility in Holstein-Friesian cattle

Effects of the c.8514C > T polymorphism in the osteopontin gene (OPN) on milk production, milk composition and disease susceptibility in Holstein-Friesian cattle

Studies into the polymorphism of the bovine osteopontin (OPN) gene have so far been focussed on the association between milk production and milk composition, lactation persistency and the rate of growth and weight gain in young cattle. Results obtained by some authors have shown different associatio...
