Variations in Casein Genes Are Associated with Milk Protein and Fat Contents in Sarda Goats (<i>Capra hircus</i>), with an Important Role of <i>CSN1S2</i> for Milk Yield

Variations in Casein Genes Are Associated with Milk Protein and Fat Contents in Sarda Goats (<i>Capra hircus</i>), with an Important Role of <i>CSN1S2</i> for Milk Yield

This work aimed to assess the variability of casein genes in a population of 153 bucks and 825 lactating does of the Sarda breed, and to perform association analysis between polymorphic sites and milk yield and composition traits. To genotype the casein genes, we chose an SNP panel including 44 SNPs...
