Mapping quantitative trait loci controlling milk production in dairy cattle by exploiting progeny testing.

We have exploited "progeny testing" to map quantitative trait loci (QTL) underlying the genetic variation of milk production in a selected dairy cattle population. A total of 1,518 sires, with progeny tests based on the milking performances of > 150,000 daughters jointly, was genoty...
