The application discloses a Holstein cow
sperm activity miRNA
molecular marker selection method, which comprises the following steps: (1)
specific primers are designed according to a Holstein cow miRNA precursor region, and PCR amplification is carried out on to-be-detected cow
genomic DNA to obtain an amplification product; (2) the PCR product is subjected to
enzyme cutting by using a BspE I restriction
endonuclease, and
electrophoresis typing is carried out, and three genotypes, namely, a TT type, a TC type and a CC type, are obtained; and (3) the
sperm activity of the CC type is significantly higher than that of the TT type, and the
sperm deformity rate of the CC type is significantly lower than that of the TT type, so the CC type and the TC type are selected for breeding, and the C
genotype frequency is improved. The method can improve the accuracy of
sperm quality selection of the cow, is used for the selection and breeding of high-quality cows, and provides a selection and breeding tool for strengthening the excellent
germplasm of Chinese Holstein cows.
