| Abstract | |
Sexty female Holstein cows were used in this experiment, animals were arranged random in two groups in agreement lactation number and conception time.Animals with ALU-1 genotipe showed biggest milk production in lactation (p = 0,016) and tendence to biggest milk peak production than Leu/Val animals. Dde-1 didn?t showed genotipe effect for any variavels. There were positive correlactin among IGF-1 and progesterone (R2 =0,280 e p = 0,011). There were negative correlactin among IGF-1 and days open, lactation production, peak lactation (R2=- 0,267 p = 0,016; R2=- 0,424 p =0,0001; R2= -0,231 p=0,0001, respective). There were tendence of positive correlaction (R2 = 0,216 p=0,053) among body condition and progesterone levels. Basead on the results of the experiment, the Alu-1 polymorphism could be used as genetic markers to milk cow selection; DDE-1 polymorphism isnt indicate like genetic marker in Holstein cows; the IGF-1 levels seens a good indicator to return reproduction activite.
