Coat colour in Holstein Dairy cattle can be influenced by many hereditary factors. The phenotypes dominant black and recessive red are primarily controlled by the MC1R gene, also known as the Extension Locus (E-Locus). This test analyses for the dominant mutation to MC1R resulting in red coat colour.
