Article Synopsis
- Mastitis is a common disease in dairy cattle that impacts milk production and animal welfare, prompting research into its genetic factors.
- Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) on Romanian dairy breeds utilized over 63,000 SNPs and data from 690 cows, revealing significant and suggestive SNPs tied to somatic cell score (SCS), particularly identifying one key SNP in Romanian Spotted cattle.
- The study highlights that different genes influence mastitis across various parities in the cattle, providing new insights into the genetic influences on SCS that could aid in improving study and management of dairy cattle health.
