Combination of genotypes of main types’ genetic markers causes milk productivity in cattle. The article studies correlation between kappa casein genotypes (C3N3), beta-lactoglobulin (LGB), their complexes and milk production indices in cows bred under equal conditions at a breeding farm. The calculation of parental milk yield and fat indices between the three breeds showed a significant difference (P>0,999) of PCI of Ayrshire and Holstein cattle breed milk yield - 3395 kg, PCI of fat - 0,22%; between Holstein and Yaroslavl cattle breeds - 3200 kg, PCI offat - 0,16%. A significant difference of realization indices of protein between all three breeds was not stated. The highest realization ofparental milk yield index was stated - between Ayrshire and Yaroslavl cattle breeds- 113%, Holstein cattle breed - 88%. As for the fat and protein indices, all three cattle breeds showed a high realization of PCI from 98% to 109%. However, Holstein cattle breed showed the highest percentage: protein - 101%, fat - 109%. A significant difference of PCI realization of milk productivity in CSN3 and LGB genotypes was not stated. It was also stated that there is a tendency of high level parental indices realization when there is a higher number of B-allele variants in genotypes of cows.

High-yield and high-quality of milk are the primary goals of dairy production. Understanding the genetic architecture underlying these milk-related traits is beneficial so that genetic variants can be targeted toward the genetic improvement. In this study, we measured five milk production and quality traits in Holstein cattle population from China. These traits included milk yield, fat, and protein. We used the estimated breeding values as dependent variables to conduct the genome-wide association studies (GWAS). Breeding values were estimated through pedigree relationships by using a linear mixed model. Genotyping was carried out on the individuals with phenotypes by using the Illumina BovineSNP150 BeadChip. The association analyses were conducted by using the fixed and random model Circulating Probability Unification (FarmCPU) method. A total of ten single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were detected above the genome-wide significant threshold (p < 4.0 × 10−7), including six located in previously reported quantitative traits locus (QTL) regions. We found eight candidate genes within distances of 120 kb upstream or downstream to the associated SNPs. The study not only identified the effect of DGAT1 gene on milk fat and protein, but also discovered novel genetic loci and candidate genes related to milk traits. These novel genetic loci would be an important basis for molecular breeding in dairy cattle.
