Abstract excerpt
The objective of this study was to determine whether genetic regulation of bovine milk somatic cell count (SCC) varied throughout the course of an individual lactation and to identify quantitative trait loci (QTL) that may differentiate populations of chronically mastitic and robustly healthy cows. Milk SCC has long been a proxy for clinical mastitis diagnosis in management and genetic improvement strategies to...
