The process of reproductive in domestic livestock is one of the most important challenges of
animal husbandry. Fertility is an important trait that contributes to herd profitability, and it can …

This study was to explore potential SNP loci for reproductive traits in Chinese Holstein cattle
and identify candidate genes. Genome-wide Association Study based on mixed linear …

Simple Summary In this study, we investigated the association between single nucleotide
polymorphisms (SNPs) and reproductive traits in order to identify candidate genes and …

The ability of livestock to reproduce efficiently is critical to the sustainability of animal
agriculture. Antral follicle count (AFC) and reproductive tract scores (RTS) can be used to …

Background Genetic progress for fertility and reproduction traits in dairy cattle has been
limited due to the low heritability of most indicator traits. Moreover, most of the quantitative …

Background Conducting genome-wide association studies (GWAS) for reproductive traits in
Hanwoo cattle, including age at first calving (AFC), calving interval (CI), gestation length …

Composite reproductive traits are a combination of growth and reproductive traits. They have
the advantage of being better attuned to the market drivers since producers are paid on a …

Fertility traits measured early in life define the reproductive potential of heifers. Knowledge of
genetics and biology can help devise genomic selection methods to improve heifer fertility …

Improved reproductive efficiency could lead to economic benefits for the beef industry, once
the intensive selection pressure has led to a decreased fertility. However, several factors …
