CA 2700688

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.

Des modes de réalisation de l'invention concernent des procédés qui permettent d'améliorer des traits désirables chez des animaux, y compris le phénotype à cornes ou sans cornes chez les bovins. L'invention porte également sur des procédés qui permettent de déterminer le génotype d'un animal de race laitière par rapport aux multiples marqueurs associés aux traits sans cornes, de condition physique et/ou de productivité. L'invention concerne aussi des procédés qui permettent de sélectionner ou affecter des animaux à des utilisations prédéterminées telles que le contrôle de la descendance ou la reproduction de troupeaux noyaux, de sélectionner des animaux reproducteurs potentiels destinés à l'élevage et de produire des animaux à descendance améliorée. L'invention se rapporte également à des procédés qui permettent d'identifier des marqueurs génétiques associés aux traits sans cornes, de condition physique et/ou de productivité qui se trouvent en association allélique avec les polymorphismes de polynucléotides simples de l'invention.
