Επίδραση των γονιδιακών τύπων της κ-καζείνης (κ-CN) και της β-λακτογλοβουλίνης (β-LG) σε παραγωγικά και αναπαραγωγικά χαρακτηριστικά των αγελάδων της φυλής Holstein

The objective of this study was to determine the effects of κ-CN and β-LG genotypes on milk production and reproductive performance traits of Holstein cows. The study was carried out from September 1, 1998 to December 31, 2001 in a large commercial farm located in Northern Greece. The herd consisted of 350 Holstein heifers that had been imported from France and The Netherlands. The present study included all animals of the herd that were being milked at the time of sampling for the determination of κ-CN and β-LG genotypes (n= 278). Milk yield of each animal was recorded daily. Milk samples were analyzed monthly for fat, protein, and lactose content. All cows had complete lactations. Τotal lactation milk, fat and protein yields were calculated from the daily records. Detailed information was available for all reproductive events. Gestation length, calving interval, age at first and second calving and number of services per conception, were used to describe reproductive performance. Geno ...
