Genetic variation in the bovine heat shock protein gene in Indonesian Bali cattle (Bos javanicus): A marker candidate for heat stress tolerance trait.

Abstract excerpt

Background: Heat stress has a significant impact on cattle performance, particularly in hot-humid climates like tropical regions. Bali cattle (Bos javanicus), an indigenous Indonesian breed, are widely known for their ability to adapt to and withstand heat stress. The heat shock protein (HSP) gene family is responsible for heat stress adaptation, and genetic diversity is linked to the ability of animals to cope...
