Identification of molecular markers on bovine chromosome 18 associated to calving interval in a Brangus-Ibagé cattle herd Identificação de marcadores moleculares no cromossomo bovino 18 associados ao intervalo entre partos em um rebanho Brangus-Ibagé

In the detection phase of a bovine marker assisted selection program, this paper investigated the genetic variability of three microsatellites on the chromosome 18 (BTA 18). The possible associations between genotypes or alleles of these markers versus weight at first calving and a lifetime calving...
