Abstract excerpt
Feet and leg conformation is evaluated as a subset of conformational structure traits in dairy and beef cattle and is related to the feet and leg quality that can compromise the animals' productive performance and longevity. The aim of this study was to perform a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of two traits related to feet and leg conformation in Nellore cattle to identify chromosomal regions related to the...
