Unraveling the genomic background of resilience based on variability in milk yield and milk production levels in North American Holstein cattle through genome-wide association study and Mendelian randomization analyses.

Abstract excerpt

Breeding more resilient animals will benefit the dairy cattle industry in the long term, especially as global climate changes become more severe. Previous studies have reported genetic parameters for various milk yield-based resilience indicators, but the underlying genomic background of these traits remain unknown. In this study, we conducted GWAS of 62,029 SNPs with 4 milk yield-based resilience indicators,...
