Anim Genet. 1989;20(3):317-21. doi: 10.1111/j.1365-2052.1989.tb00874.x.

Abstract

A method for kappa-casein genotyping in bulls has been developed. By analysis of DNA polymorphisms we are able to discriminate between the kappa-casein variant A and B in the bulls. This method will be an efficient tool in selection for the most desirable kappa-casein variant.
