Description

The objectives of this study were to estimate genetic parameters for citric acid content (CA) and lactic acid content (LA) in sheep milk and to identify the associated candidate genes in a New Zealand dairy sheep flock. Records from 165 ewes were used. Heritability estimates based on pedigree records for CA and LA were 0.65 and 0.33, respectively. The genetic and phenotypic correlations between CA and LA were strong-moderate and negative. Estimates of genomic heritability for CA and LA were a...
