Abstract excerpt
The four highest and four lowest cow lineages for milk production were selected from 324 maternal lineages of the Israeli Holstein population. For a single cow from each lineage, the mitochondrial D-loop region was amplified using the polymerase chain reaction and directly sequenced for 719bp. Ei...
