Paternity testing of crossbred beef cattle with 15 microsatellite markers
Main Article Content
Abstract
Alleles from only 9 microsatellites were detected as BM1818, BM1824, BM2113, CSSM66, ETH10, ETH225, INRA023, INRA037, and INRA063. The highest number of alleles (23 alleles) was found in CSSM66, while the lowest number (13 alleles) was found in ETH 10. BM1818 had expressed an allele size between 239 to 316 bp, while the smallest sizes, 129 to 179 bp, were detected in BM2113. Twenty-nine pairs of sire-offspring obtained a positive LOD score, whereas B-066 with Carlos-sire obtained a negative LOD score. It meant the 29 pairs of sire-offspring were matched with the pedigree records. These 9 microstellites could be used for paternity testing.
