Abstract excerpt
Single nucleotide polymorphisms in the coding region of the bovine stearoyl-CoA desaturase 1 gene have been predicted to result in p.293A (alanine at amino acid 293) and p.293V (valine at amino acid 293) alleles at the stearoyl-CoA desaturase1 locus. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the extent to which genotypes at the stearoyl-CoA desaturase 1 locus and stage of lactation influence milk fatty acid...
