Growth Hormone and Kappa-kasein Gene Polymorphism Study of the Charolais Cattle Breed

Abstract

French and Ukrainian selection of Charolais breed cows DNA typing identified the high frequency of B allele (0.3373) and homozygous BB genotype (0.1446) of the kappa-casein gene. The growth hormone gene V-allele frequency of the Ukrainian selection cattle was up to 3 times higher than the French selection animals, and with high frequency in equal parts by 45% of French selection animals had LL and LV genotype, 10% - homozygous VV genotype; for the Ukrainian selection Charolais cows this marker was at about 49 %.
