Marker effects obtained for 35,044 SNPs for milk flow traits (Total milking time (min), Ascending Time (min), Time of Plateau (min), Descending time (min), Maximum milk flow (kg/min), Average milk flow (kg/min)) across all of the bovine autosomes. Markers within MSPD QTL previously reported are labeled with “MSPD” and a purple point. The bold line signifies the upper and lower bound of the 95% confidence interval for each marker effect. Red and purple points signify markers with the 100 largest effects.
