Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms associated with growth and carcass traits located on QTL Regions previously associated with Bovine Respiratory Disease

The objective of the current study was to evaluate single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) for potential growth and carcass trait associations located in two previously described quantitative trait loci (QTL) regions associated with bovine respiratory disease. A population of 323 crossbred steers sired by five purebred sire breeds between 2010-2013 (Angus, Braford, Br.. Read More»

Single nucleotide polymorphisms associated with carcass traits in a population of Brahman and Brahman-influenced steers

    A.M. Royer, C. Shivers, D.G. Riley, M.A. Elzo and M.D. Garcia

Brahman cattle are important in tropical regions due to their ability to tolerate excessive heat and parasites. However, Brahman cattle exhibit lower carcass quality characteristics when compared to Bos taurus breeds. The objective of this study was to evaluate potential associations between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in six candidate genes for carcass q.. Read More»

Molecular markers located on the DGAT1, CAST, and LEPR genes and their associations with milk production and fertility traits in Holstein cattle

    R. Hill, A. Canal, K. Bondioli, R. Morell and M.D. Garcia

The objective of the present study was to investigate single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) located in three candidate genes previously reported to have effects on fertility and milk production traits in a population of 123 Holstein cows. The milk production traits evaluated included lifetime averages of milk yield, protein concentration, and fat concentration. Fer.. Read More»

Identification of SNPs located on BTA 6 and BTA 20 significantly associated with bovine respiratory disease in crossbred cattle

    S.L. Miller, S. Mizell, R. Walker, T. Page and M.D. Garcia

The objective of the present study was to evaluate single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) located in two quantitative trait locus (QTL) regions (BTA 6 and BTA 20) that are associated with bovine respiratory disease (BRD). A population of 323 crossbred steers sired by five purebred sire breeds during 2010-2013 (Angus, Braford, Braunvieh, Charolais, and Simmental) wer.. Read More»
