Frequency of the β-lactoglobulin polymorphism in a Holstein cattle population from the Sabana de Bogotá ; Frecuencia del polimorfismo β-lactoglobulina en una población de ganado Holstein de la Sabana de Bogotá

Despite of Cundinamarca nearly produces the 27% of the total milk production in Colombia, the quality of this product (protein, fat and total solids) is considered lower than others Colombian regions; which negatively affect the local milk market as the Colombian milk industries pay for high milk quality. Due to this situation, Corpoica have started to implement breeding programs based on molecular marker assisted selection. Under this scheme, genetic polymorphisms associated with bovine milk production traits have been determined, particularly in the variant region of the exon four of the β-l... Mehr ...
