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. Eighteen polymorphic sites were found of which 17 were substitutions and one was an insertion. Only two alleles were...
