Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the genetic basis of body conformation traits in dairy cows, linking these traits to longevity, fertility, and overall health.
- Researchers conducted genome-wide association studies (GWAS) on 14 specific traits in Holstein cows using high-density SNP genotypes derived from a large dataset of North American Holsteins.
- A total of 20 significant SNPs were identified for various traits, with some markers showing strong evidence of association, highlighting potential genomic regions that could be targeted for further genetic improvement in dairy cattle.
