Evidence for quantitative trait loci affecting twinning rate in North American Holstein cattle.

Animal genetics - 1 Jun 2004

Cruickshank J, Dentine M R, Berger P J, Kirkpatrick B W

Abstract excerpt

Twinning in dairy cattle has been associated with many negative health and reproductive events that cause economic loss to the producer. Reports have suggested that twinning rates are increasing and that there may be a positive relationship between milk production and twinning frequency. Putative quantitative trait loci (QTL) for twinning and ovulation rate on bovine chromosomes 5, 7, 19 and 23 have been...
