Association between polymorphisms of Myf5, MSTN and CAST genes and fattening performance in Brown Swiss and Holstein cattle breeds

Abstract This study determined the association between Myf5, CAST and MSTN genes and fattening performance traits in 228 (Holstein = 103 and Brown = 125) cattle breeds. Classification and regression tree (CART) was used to determine association between genes and fattening performance. The allele frequencies of Holstein cattle in terms of Myf5, CAST and MSTN genes were A:0.30, B:0.70; A:0.43, G:0.56; A:0.97, B:0.03, respectively, whereas in the Brown Swiss cattle were A:0.36, B:0.64; A:0.65, G:0.34; A:0.88, B:0.12 respectively. The Myf5, CAST, and MSTN genes were found to be in the Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium (p > 0.05) in both of the cattle breeds. As a result, the association between Myf5, CAST and MSTN genes and fattening performance traits were found to be significant according to CART analysis.
