Kappa-casein alleles in Zebu and cross-bred (1/2 Friesian, 1/4 Jersey, 1/4 Hariana) cattle from India using polymerase chain reaction and sequence-specific oligonucleotide probes (PCR-SSOP).
Primers and probes were designed to identify two common alleles CASK-A and CASK-B. A local breed of cross-bred cattle produced to improve the quality and quantity of milk, were studied for the alleles of kappa-casein (kappa-casein) gene using polymerase chain reaction and hybridization with sequence specific oligonucleotide probes (PCR-SSPO).
