Behavioral and physiological responses to short-term cold exposure in calves carrying the SLICK1 allele.

Journal of dairy science - 1 Apr 2026

Worth G M, Donkersloot E G, Spaans O K, Spelman R J, Davis S R

Abstract excerpt

The SLICK1 genetic variant, originally identified in Senepol cattle, enhances heat tolerance in association with a short hair coat. The improved heat tolerance is linked to an increased ability to lose heat, which may lead to increased cold susceptibility in colder, winter environments. Our objective was to measure the thermoregulatory responses of Friesian-Jersey crossbred SLICK1 carriers and control calves...
