The aim of the study was to examine the impact of four single nucleotide polymorphisms in DGAT1, GH and GHR genes on reproduction, production and udder health in Jersey cattle. The study was conducted on 209 cows from the Polish active dairy population and genotypes were identified using the PCR-RFLP technique. The significant effects on certain of analysed traits were revealed of GHL127V and GHR-F279Y polymorphisms. Replacement of the phenylalanine encoding T allele by the tyrosine encoding A variant at GHR-F279Y locus led to decrease in milk, fat and protein yields. The GH-L127V-CC genotype was found to be significantly associated with the shorter calving interval and shorter interval from calving to conception than the other two GH genotypes. No relations were found between DGAT1-K232A mutation and health or reproductive traits of cows.
