Abstract excerpt
Claw diseases and mastitis represent the most important disease traits in dairy cattle with increasing incidences and a frequently mentioned connection to milk yield. Yet, many studies aimed to detect the genetic background of both trait complexes via fine-mapping of quantitative trait loci. However, little is known about genomic regions that simultaneously affect milk production and disease traits. For this...
