Polymorphism identification, RH mapping and association of placental lactogen gene with milk production traits of dairy cows

Bovine placental lactogen (bPL) is structurally related to prolactin (PRL) and growth hormone (GH). In synergism with steroid and thyroid hormones, bPL is crucial in stimulating the development of the mammary gland, mammary cell differentiation and function. To further explore whether bPL gene is as...
