In this study, 1,616,549 Holstein-Friesian females were genotyped for genomic evaluation of genetic merit (BV). Genotyping was performed using the EuroGenomics MD v3.0 chipset on the Illumina microarray scanner platform operated by an accredited Illumina laboratory.

This study was conducted on the basis of data from 2955 registered cows, classified into five groups (based on different Angus types), and 200 breeding bulls, which were the sires of the cows. The data were made available by the Hungarian Hereford, Angus, and Galloway Breeders' Association.

- This study focused on identifying single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that influence the estimated breeding values (EBVs) of milk, fat, and protein yield in Holstein Friesian cows in Hungary.
- Researchers genotyped 2963 cows and used genetic distance calculations, linear regression, and haplotype association tests to find nine significant SNPs linked to the traits of interest across various chromosomes.
- Some SNPs, like BTB-00219372 and BovineHD3000027615, showed mixed effects on different EBVs, highlighting the need for careful selection to enhance desired traits without negatively impacting others.
The objective of this study was to estimate the heritability of dairy production traits and that for dimensional traits and to calculate the correlation between the two heritability values in a Holstein Friesian cow herd bred in Hungary. Data of 15,032 Holstein Friesian cows born in the period 2008-2018 from 666 sires were collected for the study in 6 large dairy herds. Among the conformation traits, stature (ST), chest width (CW), body depth (BD), and rump width (RW), and for production traits, in the first lactation of cows, the 305-day milk yield (MY), milk butterfat yield (FY), and milk protein yield (MY) were evaluated.

The data were made available by the National Association of Hungarian Holstein Friesian Breeders in Hungary. The effects of some genetic and environmental factors, population genetic parameters, breeding value (BV) of sires, and phenotypic and genetic trends of the CI were estimated.
