Abstract excerpt
Horn flies (Haematobia irritans [L.]) contribute to major economic losses of pastured cattle operations, particularly in organic herds because of limitations on control methods that can be used. The objectives of this research were to determine if resistance to horn flies is a heritable trait in organic Holstein cattle, determine associations with yield traits, and to detect genomic regions associated with fly...
