Modelling breeding strategies against genetic defects in a vulnerable cattle breed.

PloS one - 1 Jan 2026

Gustafsson Ebba, Johansson Anna M, Johnsson Martin

Abstract excerpt

This paper investigates different selection scenarios to reduce the prevalence of a genetic defect in a vulnerable breed, using simulations of selection against gonadal hypoplasia in Swedish Mountain Cattle as a case study. Gonadal hypoplasia (reduced size of ovaries/testes) that leads to reduced fertility has long been a problem in Swedish Mountain cattle (Fjällko). Despite breeding efforts that have reduced the...
