Abstract:Reproductive traits show either low to moderate heritability and are measured late in life. Thus molecular markers are required to improve the pace of genetic gain in these traits of economic value. Recent publications report the association of polymorphism in JY-1 gene with cattle reproductive traits. In this study, the only known single nucleotide polymorphism (C15329T) of caprine JY-1 gene was explored for its association with reproductive traits; age at first heat, age at first service and age at first kid… Show more
