Abstract

The highest loss in cattle breeding are caused primary by decreased level of health and reproduction. Problem of breeding on these traits is the low heritability and therefore ineffective selection. Solution of this situation could bring marker assisted selection (MAS). The aim of this study was to review current situation about functional traits and MAS in the Czech republic. Moreover this study also bring first knowledge about genotypic frequencies in Leptin gene mutation known as A80V in Czech population of Czech fleckvieh cattle.
