A Capra hircus chromosome 19 locus linked to milk production influences mammary conformation

Abstract Background Economically important milk production traits including milk volume, milk fat and protein yield vary considerably across dairy goats in New Zealand. A significant portion of the variation is attributable to genetic variation. Discovery of genetic markers linked to milk production...
