Abstract excerpt
Chinese Simmental cattle serve as an important dual-purpose breed in sustainable livestock systems. Despite their economic value, the genetic architecture underlying milk-production traits in this breed under temperate conditions remains poorly characterized. In this study, we estimated genetic parameters and identified associated genomic loci for 9 milk-production traits in a Chinese Simmental population. Our...
