Abstract excerpt

In recent decades, genetic research in cattle has largely prioritised cosmopolitan breeds and production traits, often overlooking functional and fitness-related characteristics such as longevity, fertility, and udder health. These fitness traits, although critical for animal welfare and sustainable farming, are challenging to improve due to their low heritability and complex genetic background. This study...
