a The overlapping QTL region in milk yield (MY), predicted from 11,527 animals, and milk phosphorus concentration (P), predicted from 444 animals, on chromosome 1 at approx. 144.4 Mbp. b The estimated haplotype effects for genetic merit of phosphorus concentration (mg/kg) and milk yield (L/lactation) for haplotypes spanning 144.25–144.5 Mbp on chromosome 1. Cows measured for milk composition traits had a strong family structure and were from one of 8 sire families. Figure 1b shows the (non-identical) maternal haplotypes in pink, while paternal haplotypes were randomly assigned to either haplotype A or B from each sire. Note that although all animals were from 8 half-sib families, sires that carried identical haplotypes effects were assigned to the first sire where this haplotype was observed
