Abstract excerpt
The objective of this work was to estimate the contribution of milk protein genotype to production traits of Holstein cattle. Two approaches were employed. The first was based on an animal model analysis of milk records in which cows were genotyped for milk protein variants. The second approach was the analysis of PTA of sires in which the sires were genotyped for their milk protein variants. Results of the...
