Association results of the candidate region on GGA5 (18.31–19.00 Mb) with the coefficients of MDM and AMEn. (a) Linkage disequilibrium (LD) analysis of the 53 significant SNPs on GGA5. (b) Box plot for the effect of the SNP rs741135348 on the coefficient of MDM. (c) Box plot for the effect of the SNP rs315854959 on the coefficient of AMEn. The coefficients of MDM and AMEn represent the coefficients of metabolizable dry matter and nitrogen corrected apparent metabolizable energy, respectively
