Abstract excerpt
Milk yield and composition are of great economic importance for the dairy goat industry. The identification of genes associated with phenotypic differences for these traits could allow for the implementation of gene-assisted selection programs in goats. Associations between polymorphisms at 3 candidate genes and milk production traits in Alpine goats farmed in Italy were investigated in the present research....
