Abstract excerpt
The aim of this work was to analyze the possible relationships between milk production traits and prion protein genotypes in Spanish Churra sheep. For this purpose, 2 analyses were carried out. First, an association study was performed of the prion protein genotypes of 12,533 Churra ewes and their milk yield, protein percentage, fat percentage, and somatic cell score as phenotypes, followed by a quantitative...
