Overview

GWAS reveals candidate variants for milk production and health traits in 380 Holstein cows, suggesting genetic pathways for improvement.

Key Points

  • GWAS identified 91 significant genetic signals related to milk production and health traits in Holstein cows from Southern China.
  • Haplotype analysis showed that eight signals within three QTLs were linked to milk production and health traits.
  • Fine-mapping analysis pinpointed three potential causal variants linked to reproductive traits.
  • The study underscores the importance of understanding genetic factors influencing economically important traits in dairy farming.
