Bovine chromosome 20: milk production QTL and candidate gene analysis in the Italian Holstein-Friesian breed

Bovine chromosome 20 (BTA20) was studied to identify QTL for milk yield and protein percentage in the Italian Holstein-Friesian breed using a selective milk DNA pooling strategy in a daughter design with sire haplotype analysis. Several QTL were identified. The effect of the known GHR F279Y and PRLR...
