Association results of the candidate region on GGA2 (103.45–103.53 Mb) with the coefficients of MDM and MCP. (a) Linkage disequilibrium (LD) analysis of the 45 significant SNPs on GGA2. (b) Box plot for the effect of the SNP rs740788104 on the coefficient of MDM. (c) Box plot for the effect of the SNP rs15137100 on the coefficient of MCP. The coefficients of MDM and MCP represent the coefficients of metabolizable dry matter and metabolizable crude protein, respectively
