Abstract excerpt
We present the results of a genome-wide scan to identify quantitative trait loci (QTL) that contribute to genetic variation in long-chain milk fatty acids. Milk-fat composition phenotypes were available on 1,905 Dutch Holstein-Friesian cows. A total of 849 cows and their 7 sires were genotyped for 1,341 single nucleotide polymorphisms across all Bos taurus autosomes (BTA). We detected significant QTL on BTA14,...
