Abstract excerpt
Gestation length (GL) in cattle is associated with neonatal health and the subsequent reproductive performance of dams. We performed a genome-wide association study (GWAS) using 25,144 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in 4373 animals to detect genetic variants associated with GL as a fetal trait in Japanese Black cattle in Gifu Prefecture. We identified four significant SNPs on chromosome 21 in moderate...
