Abstract excerpt
High-throughput cow genotyping has opened new perspectives for genome-wide association studies (GWAS). Directly recorded phenotypes and several records per animal could be used. In this study, a GWAS on lactation curve traits of 337 Italian Simmental cows genotyped with the Illumina (San Diego, CA) low-density BeadChip (7K) was carried out. Scores of the first 2 principal components extracted from test-day...
