Gene by environment interactions for production traits in Australian dairy cattle.

Abstract excerpt

Dairy farming is carried out under a wide range of production environments, including large variations in the level of feeding. Although reranking of dairy sires based on the level of feeding of their daughters has been reported, detecting the genetic mutations that cause this genotype by environment interaction has not been previously attempted. In our experiment to find genetic markers for such mutations, we...
