Abstract excerpt
Spanish Churra sheep were studied in a daughter design for the presence on chromosome 6 of quantitative trait loci (QTL) influencing milk production traits. Eight half-sib families were genotyped for 11 microsatellites and marker-QTL effects analysed using yield deviations (YD) as quantitative measurements for the following traits: milk yield, protein yield, and protein percentage. QTL analysis was performed by...
