Abstract excerpt
The objective of this study was to estimate the effects of beta-kappa-casein (CN) haplotypes on first-lactation milk production traits. The beta-kappa-CN haplotypes were deduced using information on beta- and kappa-CN genotypes of cows and their sires for 16,973 Finnish Ayrshire cows that had at least nine paternal half sibs. Effects of CN haplotypes on milk production traits were estimated for one haplotype at a...
