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. | Publication Type: | Conference Publication | Conference Details: | NBRUC 2019: Northern Beef Research Update Conference, Brisbane, Australia, 19th - 22nd August, 2019 | Source of Publication: | Northern Beef Research Update Conference: Bush to bright lights, p. 124-124 | Publisher: | North Australia Beef Research Council | Place of Publication: | Australia | Fields of Research (FoR) 2020: | 300306 Animal welfare | Socio-Economic Objective (SEO) 2020: | 100401 Beef cattle | HERDC Category Description: | E3 Extract of Scholarly Conference Publication |
