Abstract:A study was aimed to evaluate a set of polymorphic microsatellite markers for their efficiency in testing parentage in Jersey crossbred cattle available in Tamil Nadu. The objective of validation was based on the criteria such as polymorphism information content, various genetic diversity parameters and the ability of markers to exclude the wrong parent. A total of 21 microsatellite markers were included to verify the parentage in 24 Jersey crossbred trios (comprising 24 dams, 24 progenies and 2 sires). The mi… Show more
