Abstract
The poll microsatellite DNA marker test has been used for poll testing Australia’s beef industry since 2011, and largely relied on the submission of phenotypes (horned, polled, and scurred) as a reference dataset to estimate genotypes with an associated probability. Recently poll SNP based testing has become available, which does not require phenotype submission and provides a more conclusive genotype result. The following summarises changes to poll DNA testing, how tests differ and potential changes in genotype results.
