    Effect of polymorphisms in exon 8 of the PPARGC1A gene on milk production traits in cattle

    The objective of this study was to investigate associations between genotypes of polymorphisms in exon 8 of the PPARGC1A gene and milk production traits in dairy cattle. The study was conducted in a herd of 959 Polish Holstein-Friesian of the black and white cows kept in western Poland. In this study, three polymorphisms within exon 8 of the PPARGC1A gene were analyzed: rs445204772, rs109164431 and rs133669403 and they are responsible for two missense and one synonymous type mutations. All cows were genotyped using the PCR-RFLP method. The PPARGC1A polymorphisms that were studied had the following major allele frequencies: rs445204772 – allele A 0.523; rs109164431 – allele C 0.607 and rs133669403 – allele A 0.546. Statistical analysis was aimed at estimating the effect of individual genotypes on milk performance traits such as milk, protein, and fat yield as well as protein and fat content in milk. For rs445204772 polymorphism, a statistically significant effect on milk yield (P ≤ 0.05) and fat content (P ≤ 0.05, P ≤ 0.01) was observed. Polymorphism rs109164431 significantly (P ≤ 0.05, P ≤ 0.01) affected milk, fat, and protein yield as well as milk fat content. In the case of polymorphism rs133669403, it was found that it affects to a different degree (P ≤ 0.05, P ≤ 0.01) most of the analyzed milk performance traits. The obtained results may contribute to the state of knowledge regarding the identification of the most important SNPs that could be used for the selection of marker assisted dairy cattle.

    The Effect of Selected Factors on Rearing Performance of Charolais Calves
    (Wydawnictwo Uczelniane Zachodniopomorskiego Uniwersytetu Technologicznego w Szczecinie, 2023) Pytlewski, Jarosław; Antkowiak, Ireneusz R.; Czerniawska-Piątkowska, Ewa; Department of Animal Breeding and Product Quality Assessment, Poznań University of Life Sciences, Poznań, Poland; Department of Animal Breeding and Product Quality Assessment, Poznań University of Life Sciences, Poznań, Poland; Department of Ruminant Science, West Pomeranian University of Technology, Szczecin, Poland
    The aim of this study was to determine the effect of selected factors on rearing performance of Charolais calves to day 90 of life. The experimental material comprised 83 Charolais cows calving in the winter and spring seasons and calves they reared (84 head) to day 90 of life. All calves born by the experimental females were weighed at birth and then at days 30, 60 and 90 of life. Calves were also subjected to zoometric measurements. Their height at sacrum and width at hips were measured at days 10 and 30 of life. The increments for height at sacrum and width at hips between day 10 and 30 of life were calculated for the calves. Rearing indexes of the calves were assessed in terms of calf sex (heifer vs. bull calves), calving season (winter vs. spring), successive calving of the cow (1, 2, 3 and >3), parturition type (normal vs. dystocia), body condition of the cow after calving (good vs. poor). It was shown that rearing performance of Charolais calves to day 90 of life was significantly affected by their sex, calving season, parturition type and body condition of the dam during calving. The most advantageous results for the assessed rearing parameters of Charolais calves to day 90 of life were recorded for male animals born in the winter season coming from normal births and produced by dams in good body condition during parturition.

    Genetic Aspects of Lactose Synthesis in Dairy Cattle
    (Wydawnictwo Uczelniane Zachodniopomorskiego Uniwersytetu Technologicznego w Szczecinie, 2023) Śpiewak , Magdalena; Kowalewska, Inga; Czerniawska-Piątkowska, Ewa; Department of Genetics, West Pomeranian University of Technology, Szczecin, Poland; Department of Genetics, West Pomeranian University of Technology, Szczecin, Poland; Department of Ruminant Science, West Pomeranian University of Technology, Szczecin, Poland
    Market requirements, dictated by the growing needs of consumers, make it necessary to conduct breeding works to improve the performance characteristics of farm animals. The effectiveness of the breeding goal depends on both the genotype of the animals and the environmental conditions. Genomic selection using single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) is increasingly used in the selection and evaluation of dairy cattle breeds. In recent years, many experiments have been carried out to determine the relationship between the occurrence of the genotype and performance traits of livestock. The analysis of milk composition carried out so far focused mainly on such milk production traits as milk yield (kg), fat yield (kg), fat content (%), protein yield (kg) and protein content (%). So far, no largescale experiments have been carried out to test the content of lactose in milk and evaluate possible relationships with other milk performance traits. Lactose synthesis in the epithelial cells of the mammary gland serves as a major factor influencing milk volume production. Due to that conducting such an analysis seems to be beneficial for milk producers for economic reasons. An additional advantage may be the use of the obtained results in marker-assisted selection (MAS). The present review summarizes knowledge about lactose synthesis by covering and linking several aspects of cow’s milk.
