Zusammenfassung:The object of this invention is to provide a method for evaluating genetic ability for carcass weight in a bovine individual by using gene markers. According to the method, the nucleotide at the e9 site of the bovine NCAPG gene is determined. When it is G, genetic ability for increasing carcass weight is judged to be higher. Alternatively, the amino acid at the E9 site of the bovine NCAPG gene is determined. When it is methionine, genetic ability for increasing carcass weight is judged to be higher.
