Unraveling the genomic architecture of hock conformation defects in Pura Raza Española horses.

Abstract excerpt

Conformational traits define a horse's shape and morphology, heavily influencing its functionality, sport performance, health, and appearance, making conformation a critical selection criterion in horse breeding. However, the genomic basis of conformational defects, specifically those affecting the hock, remains largely unexplored. This research aimed to identify the genomic regions associated with hock defects...
