Abstract excerpt
Angus cattle, originally from Scotland, have been selectively bred for over 400 years, making them one of the most prominent beef breeds globally. Known for their adaptability, natural polled traits, and high-quality beef, Angus cattle have been intensively selected for growth, body size, and feed efficiency. This study investigates the genetic diversity, selection history, and key genomic regions across five...
