Abstract excerpt
Fertility traits are pivotal to the productivity and sustainability of dairy production systems; however, their genetic improvement remains constrained due to complex polygenic control and low heritability. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) offer a powerful approach to identify genomic regions underlying reproductive traits, particularly in tropically adapted indigenous breeds like Sahiwal cattle, which...
