The objective of this study was to assess the genotypic and allelic frequencies in CSN3 gene in the Saanen goat breed and its e ect on milk production and some of its compositional traits. Allelic discrimination assays were designed to determine the variants (A, B or C) using qPCR and allelic discrimination method. Allelic frequencies for A, B and C were 0.23, 0.64 and 0.13, respectively. Association analysis indicated that the CSN3 was signi cantly associated only with protein percentage (p = 0.006). Results indicated that animals with AC, BB and CC genotypes showed higher milk</span></p></div></div></div> ER -
