Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:The invention relates to a method for determining mastitis resistance in bovine subjects, wherein mastitis resistance comprise resistance to both sub -clinical and clinical mastitis. In particular, the method of the invention involves identification of genetic markers and/or Quantitative Trait Locus ( QTL) for the determination of mastitis resistance in a bovine subject. The d etermination of mastitis resistance involves resolution of the specific micr osatellite status. Furthermore, the invention relates to a diagnostic kit fo r detection of genetic marker(s) associated with mastitis resistance. The me thod and kit of the present invention can be applied for selection of bovine subjects for breeding purposes. Thus, the invention provides a method of ge netically selecting bovine subjects with mastitis resistance, thereby yieldi ng cows less prone to mastitis.
