    This document summarizes a study that aimed to map quantitative trait loci (QTL) controlling milk production in Frieswal cattle by exploiting progeny testing. Frieswal cattle were developed by crossing Friesian dairy cattle with Sahiwal zebu cattle. The study objectives were to identify genes underlying milk production traits like milk yield and composition through QTL mapping in order to better understand the physiological and biochemical roles of these genes and enable more direct genetic improvement. The document provides background on the development of the Frieswal breed and states that milk production traits are polygenic and influenced by both genetic and environmental factors.

    Introduction
     Over the past 100 years efforts have been made to produce
    new Crossbred strains of cattle in Indian Subcontinent by
    crossing Bos indicus breeds with highly developed
    temprate cattle.
     Crossbreeding of the Sahiwal with dairy breeds is
    becoming important in improving production efficiency.
     The Sahiwal has been widely used in crossbreeding in
    tropical areas because it has high additive genetic merits
    for milk production.
     The Frieswal breed will
    have around 62%
    (50.62%) Friesian and
    38% (38-50) Sahiwal
    Inheritance; was
    expected to give 4000
    kg milk with 4% butter
    fat in a lactation of 305
    days and a calving
    interval of 13 months
    under good
    management
    conditions.
    frieswal taurindicus
     In dairy cattle, milk yield and composition are typical
    polygenic traits.
     Phenotypes are continuously distributed and reflect the
    joint action of large numbers of polygenes or quantitative
    trait loci (QTL) confounded with environmental effects.
     In the populations of interest, milk production traits have
    narrow sense heritabilities in the 25-50% range.
     Most successful QTL mapping efforts described to date
    have exploited F2 or backcrosses obtained from parental
    populations divergent for the traits of interest.
    Study Objective
     Milk production traits are important quantitative traits for
    dairy cattle.
     The goal of QTL mapping is to identify genes underlying
    these traits for us to gain a better understanding of their
    physiological and biochemical roles and for a more direct
    way of genetic improvement. 
    Material & Methods

     QTL
