We studied 1817 random samples of cows born in 2010-2017 from ten herds and 331 cows and heifers from the other three herds born in 2016-2019, fathers or fathers of mothers of which were HCD carriers. The method of AS-PCR was used for animals genotyping. In the first group of animals, the incidence of HCD carriers was 8.09%, and in the second one - 23.26%. Our results demonstrated the necessity to test cows for the carriage of the HCD genetic defect in the Russian population of Holstein cattle.}, type={Short communication}, title={Screening of haplotype for cholesterol deficiency genetic defect in the Russian Holstein cattle population}, URL={http://www.czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/116777/PDF/19.pdf}, doi={10.24425/pjvs.2020.133647}, keywords={cows, Holstein breed, genetic defect, cholesterol deficiency}, }
