    Bovine polydactyly inheritance is polygenic. This complex trait requires a dominant gene at one locus and two recessive genes at another for expression in cattle.

    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary Genetics
    • Animal Breeding
    • Reproductive Biology

    Background:

    • Polydactyly, a congenital anomaly characterized by extra digits, occurs in various species, including cattle.
    • Understanding the genetic basis of bovine polydactyly is crucial for selective breeding and management strategies.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To elucidate the mode of inheritance for bovine polydactyly.
    • To investigate the genetic mechanisms underlying the expression of polydactyly in cattle.

    Main Methods:

    • Conducted five distinct breeding trials involving specific mating strategies.
    • Utilized advanced reproductive techniques such as superovulation, embryo transfer, and early fetal recovery in specific trials.
    • Employed father-daughter, mother-son, and polydactylous x polydactylous mating designs.

    Main Results:

    • Data from the breeding trials provided insights into the inheritance patterns.
    • The results indicated a complex genetic basis for bovine polydactyly.

    Conclusions:

    • Bovine polydactyly inheritance is suggested to be polygenic.
    • The expression of polydactyly appears to involve a dominant gene at one locus and two recessive genes at another locus.
