Abstract: 【Objective】 Bovine interleukin-8 (IL-8) is one of the major factors recruiting neutrophils during cow mastitis and causing rapid increase of somatic cell counts (SCC). Knowledge of IL-8 polymorphisms would be helpful to genetic selection of low SCC. 【Method】 The SNPs in the 5′ upstream of bovine IL-8 gene were investigated in 610 Chinese Holstein cows from 30 bull families in a dairy farm in Shanghai using polymerase chain reaction-single strand conformation polymorphism (PCR-SSCP) technique, and milking traits and somatic cell score (SCS) were measured and their relationship was analyzed using a mixed animal model. 【Result】 The results showed that one SNP, A(-180)G, was detected, determining three genotypes, GG, GA and AA with frequencies of 0.41, 0.43 and 0.16, respectively. The SNP showed significant effect on SCS, with GG having a significantly lower SCS than GA or AA (P<0.01), while this SNP had no effect on test-day milk yield, test-day milk fat content, test-day milk protein content, and 305 d corrected milk yield. 【Conclusion】The findings demonstrated that the SNP -180A/G exerted significant effect on SCS.
