Abstract: This study is to investigate the association between Bovine Lactoferrin gene exon4 polymorphism and mastitis.In this experiment,the genotype distribution of polymorphism fragment in bLF gene exon4 was analyzed by PCR-SSCP in 86 Chinese Simmental cattles.Meanwhile,the effect of bLF gene exon4 on mastitis was analyzed.It showed that:the distribution of three genotypes was significantly different(P<0.05) of healthy dairy cows by using x2 analysis.The BB genotype frequency was higher in the bovine mastitis cases,which suggested that this polymorphism could be related to bovine mastitis affection and might become a molecularmarker of the mastitis.

Key words: Chinese Simmental Cattles, Bovine lactoferrin, Mastitis, Somatic cell count, PCR-SSCP
