Abstract excerpt
Genomic tools can help in the selection of animals genetically resistant to heat stress, especially the genome-wide association studies (GWAS). The objective of this study was to compare the variance explained by SNPs and direct genomic breeding values (DGVs) at two levels of a temperature and humidity index (THI). Records of milk yield (MY), somatic cell score (SCS), and percentages of casein (CAS), saturated...
