Abstract excerpt
Mastitis remains the most important health issue in dairy cattle. Improved methods to identify cows developing subclinical mastitis would benefit farmers. We herein describe a novel method to determine the somatic cell counts (SCC) of individual cows by bulk genotyping a sample of milk from the milk tank with panels of genome-wide single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP). We developed a simple linear model to...
