Patent

CA 2261157

The invention concerns a genetic marker used to distinguish amongst animals a trait for milk producing capabilities or meat producing capabilities said genetic marker comprising a mutation in a fragment of a Pit- 1 gene wherein three patterns of alleles are observed in which one of said allele patterns was fully mutated and being indicative of a trait of muscularity in said animal, while the two other allelic patterns, one being mutated and non/mutated, the other being non-mutated/non-mutated being indicative of a milk producing trait in said animal.

Marqueur génétique utilisé pour distinguer parmi des animaux un caractère de capacité de production laitière ou de capacité de production de viande, qui comprend une mutation dans un fragment d'un gène Pit-1, trois configurations d'allèles étant observées. L'une desdites configurations est totalement mutée et indique un caractère de musculosité chez ledit animal, tandis que les deux autres configurations, l'une étant mutée/non mutée et l'autre étant non mutée/non mutée sont indicatrices d'un caractère de production de lait chez ledit animal.
