Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention provide methods for improving desirable animal traits including the horned/polled phenotype in bovine animals. Also provided are methods for determining a dairy animal's genotype with respect to multiple markers associated with polled, fitness and/or productivity traits. 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 genetic markers associated with polled, fitness and/or productivity traits that are in allelic association with the SNPs disclosed herein.
