Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the association of the,andsingle-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the bovine() gene with milk yield and quality traits in Holstein cattle. For this purpose, 166 Holstein dairy cows were genotyped for these three SNPs. Correlation analyses showed that theSNP was associated with 305-day milk yield (< 0.05). Besides,SNP was found to be associated not only with 305-day milk yield but also with milk fat, milk quality traits, somatic cell score, electrical conductivity and pH (< 0.05). The results of this study suggest that theandSNPs could be used in breeding for the improvement of milk yield and milk quality in cattle. Furthermore, based on its association with mastitis related traits, theSNP was considered as a potential indicator of mastitis susceptibility.
