Patent

CA 2698379

The present invention provides methods for improving desirable animal traits including improved fitness and productivity in dairy animals. Also provided are methods for determining a dairy animal's genotype with respect to multiple markers associated with fitness and/or productivity. 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. Each of the above methods may be further improved through the incorporation of interaction effects between multiple SNPs.

La présente invention porte sur des procédés pour améliorer des caractères souhaitables chez les animaux comprenant la valeur adaptative et la productivité des animaux laitiers. L'invention porte également sur des procédés pour déterminer le génotype d'un animal laitier par rapport à plusieurs marqueurs associés à la valeur adaptative et/ou à la productivité. L'invention porte également sur des procédés permettant de sélectionner ou d'affecter les animaux à des usages prédéterminés tels que les tests de descendance ou la reproduction du troupeau noyau, de choisir les animaux reproducteurs potentiels, et d'améliorer la descendance. Chacun des procédés ci-dessus peut en outre être amélioré par l'incorporation d'effets d'interaction entre plusieurs SNP.
