Abstract :The aim of this experiment was to estimate possible associations between FAM13A1, OPN, LAP3, and HCAP-G genotypes and some milk performance traits, like daily milk yields insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(kg);, protein content insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(%);, and fat content insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(%);. The study included 181 Jersey cows. The polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism and artificial constructed restriction sites methods were used to identify genotypes. The minor allele frequencies were as follow: FAM13A1 G/A 0.34, FAM13A1 A/C 0.44, OPN T/C 0.22, OPN G/T 0.38, LAP3 0.07, and HCAP-G 0.49. No associations were observed between the single-nucleotide polymorphisms in analyzed loci and the traits in this study; however, the findings showed some tendencies towards reaching lower or higher values of a given trait by an individual of a given genotype.
