Abstract excerpt
Calf mortality during the rearing period is a major concern for dairy producers, impacting both profitability and animal welfare. A genome-wide association analysis of young stock survival (YSS) in Jersey cattle using whole-genome sequence variants identified a major QTL on chromosome 10 influencing survival at an early age. Within the QTL region, 27 variants were segregated in Jersey cattle but not in Holstein,...
