Abstract excerpt
The growth and development of dairy heifers are economically important traits, as they directly influence rearing costs, age at first calving, and subsequent milk production. Our previous genome-wide association study (GWAS) identified the AADACL3 gene as one of important candidates for body weight and body size traits of Chinese Holstein heifers. Here, we validate the genetic effects of AADACL3 on growth traits...
