Investigating the relationship between the prion protein locus and udder morphology traits and milk yield in Sardinian sheep.

Journal of animal science - 1 Nov 2007

Salaris S, Casu S, Carta A

Abstract excerpt

Different approaches were applied to investigate prion protein (PrP)-encoding gene effects on udder morphology and milk yield in Sardinian sheep. The PrP genotype of 23,077 animals (10,029 males) was determined. The direct effect of the PrP or a closely linked gene was analyzed at the population-wide level using 2 animal models, based on records from genotyped animals, including only the PrP genotype as a fixed...
