Introduction. The selection assisted by molecular markers allows the modification of the genes´ frequency within a population, favoring the variables responsible for zoo technical interest characters. The gene of the growth hormone is important for the characteristics related to the animal´s development and can be associated to the linear characteristics of the bovine cattle. Objective. To determine the effect of a polymorphism of the bovine´s growth hormone´s gene on conformation characteristics in Holstein cows from the Antioquia province. Materials and methods. The research work was performed in eight dairy herds from Antioquia, with 359 records, with 313 Holstein bovines. The DNA extraction was performed with the salting o...
