Zusammenfassung:Provided is a method of determining genetic merit of a bovine with respect to milk or tissue colour or beta-carotene content or with respect to capability of producing progeny that will have increased or decreased milk or tissue colour or beta-carotene content, which comprises the step of determining the scavenger receptor class 1, member 1 (SCARB1) allelic profile of said bovine, and determining the genetic merit of the bovine on the basis of the SCARB1 allelic profile. Further provided are bovines selected by the method and milk obtained from such selected bovines.
