Improving feed efficiency (FE) is a major goal for the livestock industry. Previously, we have identified 48 SNP markers distributed over 32 genes significantly associated with residual feed intake (RFI) in Israeli Holstein male calves, the most significant of which are located in the bovine FABP4 gene. In the present study, we tested associations of eight of the FABP4 markers with RFI and feed conversion ratio (FCR), along with milk composition and feeding behavioral traits, in 114 lactating Israeli Holstein cows. Large allele effects were found, along with large contributions of FABP4 markers to the phenotypic variation [mean contribution of all significant markers (P < 0.05), 15.4 and 12.0% for RFI and FCR, respectively] and genotypic variation [means of all significant markers (P < 0.05), 75.7 and 32.4% in RFI and FCR, respectively]. However, the association of all significant FABP4 markers with FE and milk content traits was found in opposite directions, such that improved FE was accompanied by decreased milk content. Hence, before inclusion in breeding programs, the gain in FE must be economically balanced with the loss in milk contents. On the other hand, these findings imply that in any current improvement program concentrated on milk traits alone, without taking into account the effect on FE, the progress in milk composition is probably accompanied by deterioration of FE. These results, if confirmed in other populations and breeds, set FABP4 as a prime candidate in any marker-assisted selection program targeting FE as a whole and RFI in particular.

FABP4基因对哺乳的以色列荷斯坦奶牛的饲料效率有非常大的影响。

饲料效率(FE)的提高是畜牧业的主要目标。以前,我们已经在48个SNP标记物中发现了32个基因,这些基因与以色列荷斯坦雄性犊牛的剩余饲料摄入量(RFI)显着相关,其中最重要的基因位于牛FABP4基因中。在本研究中,我们测试了114头哺乳的以色列荷斯坦奶牛中8种FABP4标记与RFI和饲料转化率(FCR)以及奶成分和喂养行为特征的关联。发现大的等位基因效应,以及FABP4标记对表型变异的巨大贡献[所有显着标记的平均值贡献(P <0.05),RFI和FCR分别为15.4和12.0%]和基因型变异[所有显着标记的平均值] (P <0.05),RFI和FCR分别为75.7和32.4%]。然而,在相反的方向上发现了所有重要的FABP4标记物与FE和牛奶含量性状的关联,从而使FE的提高伴随着牛奶含量的降低。因此,在纳入育种计划之前,必须将FE的增加与牛奶含量的减少在经济上取得平衡。另一方面,这些发现表明,在任何当前仅针对牛奶性状的改进计划中,如果不考虑对FE的影响,则牛奶成分的进步可能伴随着FE的恶化。如果在其他种群和品种中得到证实,则这些结果将FABP4设置为以FE为整体,尤其是RFI的任何标记辅助选择程序的主要候选对象。从而使FE改善,同时牛奶含量降低。因此,在纳入育种计划之前,必须将FE的增加与牛奶含量的减少在经济上取得平衡。另一方面,这些发现表明,在任何当前仅针对牛奶性状的改进计划中,如果不考虑对FE的影响,则牛奶成分的进步可能伴随着FE的恶化。如果在其他种群和品种中得到证实,则这些结果将FABP4设置为以FE为整体,尤其是RFI的任何标记辅助选择程序的主要候选对象。从而使FE改善,同时牛奶含量降低。因此,在纳入育种计划之前,必须将FE的增加与牛奶含量的减少在经济上取得平衡。另一方面,这些发现表明,在任何当前仅针对牛奶性状的改进计划中,如果不考虑对FE的影响,则牛奶成分的进步可能伴随着FE的恶化。如果在其他种群和品种中得到证实,则这些结果将FABP4设置为以FE为整体,尤其是RFI的任何标记辅助选择程序的主要候选对象。这些发现表明,在任何当前仅针对牛奶性状的改进计划中,如果不考虑对FE的影响,则牛奶成分的进步可能伴随着FE的恶化。如果在其他种群和品种中得到证实,则这些结果将FABP4设置为以FE为整体,尤其是RFI的任何标记辅助选择程序的主要候选对象。这些发现表明,在任何当前仅针对牛奶性状的改进计划中,如果不考虑对FE的影响,则牛奶成分的进步可能伴随着FE的恶化。如果在其他种群和品种中得到证实,则这些结果将FABP4设置为以FE为整体,尤其是RFI的任何标记辅助选择程序的主要候选对象。
