Abstract excerpt
A great deal of evidence points to substantial genetic control over at least some of the immune responses, although genetic parameters for clinical disease have been less favorable. The past two decades have illustrated that single genes with a large impact on food animal health do exist and can be used to improve the health of domestic populations. The current focus on molecular genetics within food animal...
