Abstract excerpt
A total of 22 quantitative trait loci (QTL) were detected on 19 chromosomes for direct and maternal calving traits in cattle using a genome-wide association study.

To identify the QTL contributing these effects to calving characteristics, we performed a genome-wide association study using a mixed-model...
