Abstract excerpt
This study focused on the identification of QTL regions, candidate genes, and network related genes based on the first 3 lactations (LAC3) of milk, fat, and protein yields, and somatic cell score (SCS) in Portuguese Holstein cattle. Additionally, the results were compared with those from only first lactation (LAC1) data. The analyses were performed using the weighted single-step GWAS under an autoregressive...
