AI Article Synopsis
- The study analyzed allele, genotype, and haplotype frequencies in 837 Polish Holstein-Friesian cattle for two PRNP gene indel polymorphisms.
- The allele frequencies for the 23 bp polymorphism were 0.622 (del) and 0.378 (ins), while for the 12 bp polymorphism they were 0.527 (del) and 0.473 (ins), with variations observed between sires and dams.
- Four haplotypes were found, the most common being 23-12del, and a comparison with German Holstein populations showed similar genetic structures for the 23 bp indel but significant differences for the 12 bp indel.
Article Abstract
The allele, genotype, and haplotype frequencies among 837 Polish Holstein-Friesian cattle were determined at two regulatory indel polymorphisms of the PRNP gene. Allele frequencies at the 23 bp indel promoter polymorphism were 0.622 (del) and 0.378 (ins), with 0.613 and 0.387 in sires and 0.633 and 0.366 in dams. Allele frequencies at the 12 bp indel intron polymorphism were 0.527 (del) and 0.473 (ins), with 0.529 and 0.471 in sires and 0.543 and 0.456 in dams. Four haplotypes were identified in this population (23-12del, 23-12ins, 23del-12ins, and 23ins-12del). Haplotype 23-12del occurred most frequently in both sire and dam groups. Comparative analysis of Polish Holstein-Friesian and German Holstein populations revealed a similar genetic structure for the 23 bp indel polymorphism and a significantly different one for the 12 bp indel polymorphism. In allele and haplotype analysis, significant differences were observed between the Polish Holstein-Friesian population and a BSE-free German Holstein population.

The purpose of the paper was to apply an Artificial Neural Networks with Radial Basis Function to develop an application model for diagnosing a subclinical ketosis type I and II in dairy cattle. While building the neural network model, applied methodology was compatible to the procedures used in Data Mining processes. The data set was created based on the composition of milk samples of 1520 Polish Holstein-Friesian cows.

Genetic disorders are caused by a hereditary change in the structure of DNA that may hurt the health and life of animals. Several recessive haplotypes and a few causative mutations are known in Holstein Friesian cattle: CDH (Holstein cholesterol deficiency), haplotypes with a homozygous deficiency in Holstein (HH1, HH3, HH4, HH5, HH6, HH7), BLAD (bovine leukocyte adhesion deficiency), DUMPS (deficiency of uridine monophosphate synthase), FXI (factor XI deficiency), HHM (mule foot, syndactyly), and BC (citrullinaemia). From a breeding point of view, these genetic diseases have highly negative effects and are a significant problem for breeders, exposing them to economic losses and hurting animal welfare.

Background: The high dairy production of Polish Holstein Friesian (PHF) cows determines high energy requirements in the early stages of lactation. Unfortunately, it is very often difficult to meet this demand through feedstuffs; therefore, homeostasis may be disturbed and metabolic diseases may occur, causing a majority of cows' health problems. Breeders are, therefore, looking for alternatives to the PHF breed using crossbreeding.
