Abstract excerpt
A pedigree analysis was used to investigate the association of bovine growth hormone loci with milk production traits of Holstein cattle. Holstein bulls were typed for three bovine growth hormone loci located in exon V, intron C, and the 3' region of the gene. Phenotypic data were daughter yield deviations for milk, fat, and protein yields and for fat and protein percentages. Analysis of linkage across families...
