Exploiting comprehensive genotype and sequence data enabled us to reveal two deleterious alleles in SLC2A2 and SUGT1 that compromise pre- and postnatal survival in homozygous state. Our results provide the basis for genome-assisted approaches to avoiding inadvertent carrier matings and to improving reproductive and rearing success in Fleckvieh cattle.
