Abstract excerpt
The aim of this study was to investigate beta-casein polymorphism among 320 Japanese cows sampled from eight dairy farms. We used a newly-developed genotyping method that involved collecting DNA from hairs and a Cycleave polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay to detect the A1, A2, and B variants. Results revealed the presence of five genotypes (A1A1, A2A2, A1A2, A1B, and A2B). We found that the most common...
