The increasing prevalence of hereditary anomalies in Holstein cattle populations presents a pressing issue, leading to concerns such as embryonic mortality and the birth of non-viable offspring. This study addresses the urgency of managing harmful genetic mutations in Holstein cattle by developing alternative diagnostic methods. The research aims to devise effective means to diagnose fertility haplotypes HH1, HH3, HH5, HCD and BY and subfertility syndrome in cattle. To achieve this goal, a range of molecular genetic techniques were employed, including Tetra-Primer ARMS-PCR methods, PCR-RFLP analysis and allele-specific PCR. These methods facilitated the identification of heterozygous carriers of various fertility haplotypes and subfertility syndrome in Holstein cows and servicing bulls. The study reveals the prevalence of these genetic defects within the Republic of Kazakhstans cattle population. HH1, HH3, HH5, HCD and BY fertility haplotypes were found to have occurrence rates ranging from 1.4% to 16.6%, with subfertility syndrome detected in 4.5% of Simmental bulls. The practical significance of this research lies in its contribution to genetic monitoring and management strategies for Holstein cattle populations. By introducing affordable, rapid and accurate diagnostic methods, such as the T-ARMS-PCR, the study provides a valuable tool for controlling and mitigating the spread of harmful genetic mutations, ultimately improving the overall genetic health and productivity of Holstein cattle in the region. This research addresses a critical need in the cattle breeding industry and underscores the importance of genetic monitoring to ensure the long-term viability and sustainability of Holstein cattle populations.
