Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on identifying genes linked to milk production in crossbred Gir × Holstein (Girolando) dairy animals, as most genetic research has been on pure breeds.
- Researchers performed a genome-wide association study (GWAS) on 337 Girolando animals, analyzing over 45,000 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) to find associations with 305-day milk yield while adjusting for various factors.
- The study identified 52 significant SNPs associated with milk production, including NUB1 and SLC24A2, suggesting these markers could help predict genetic potential for milk yield in Girolando cows.
