Abstract. The genetic progress of a highly productive breeding beef herd is largely determined by the selection method of replacement heifers. The aim of the work was to evaluate the breeding value of Kazakh White-Headed heifers of different genotypes for GHR F279Y and GH L127V polymorphisms, as well as to study the effectiveness of traditional and marker-assisted selection in beef cattle breeding. The breeding value of heifers (n=22 heads) was determined by the results of the test on their own productivity from 8 to 15 months of age, depending on the GH L127V and GHR F279Y polymorphisms. Heifers of various genotypes unequally realized their genetic potential of productivity. Harmonious and typical exterior-constitutional development, as well as massiveness allowed heifers with the YY genotype of the growth hormone receptor gene to obtain the highest complex index of 102.9 % at the age of 15 months. The lowest complex index (96.6 %) was found in young animals with GHLL genotype when ranking animals in accordance with GH L127V polymorphism. As a result of the research, Y and V alleles were identified as “desirable” for the GHR F279Y and GH L127V polymorphisms, which were associated with a high breeding value in Kazakh white-headed breed. The heifers breeding taking into account these alleles increased the intensity of selection by 22.7 % and enhanced the variability of traits by 20.50-32.65 % compared to the traditional selection system. Thus, the breeding core of the Kazakh White-Headed mature herd is recommended to complete with heifers evaluated by a complex index of more than 100 % and "desirable" genetic structure for the GH and GHR genes.

Keywords: heifers, Kazakh White-Headed breed, breeding value, genotype, allele, GH L127V and GHR F279Y polymorphisms
