摘要
The present invention provides methods for improving desirable animal traits including improved fitness and productivity in dairy animals. Also provided are methods for determining a dairy animal's genotype with respect to multiple markers associated with milk production, somatic cell score, daughter pregnancy rate, productive life, and/or net merit. The invention also provides methods for selecting or allocating animals for predetermined uses such as progeny testing or nucleus herd breeding, for picking potential parent animals for breeding, and for producing improved progeny animals. Also provided are methods for identifying genes and/or genetic markers for traits including fitness and productivity traits; including identifying markers that are in allelic association with the SNPs disclosed herein and for identifying the genotypes of a causative mutation underlying a quantitative trait locus (QTL). The invention further provides methods for genotyping animals for multiple SNPs associated with the traits described above.
