Many genetic markers related to health or production traits are not evaluated in populations
independent of the discovery population or related to phenotype. Here we evaluated 68 …

We evaluated 69 SNP s in genes previously related to fertility and production traits for their
relationship to daughter pregnancy rate (DPR), cow conception rate (CCR) and heifer …

Background Identification of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) for specific genes
involved in reproduction might improve reliability of genomic estimates for these low …

The decline in the reproductive efficiency of dairy cattle has become a challenging problem
worldwide. Female fertility is now taken into account in breeding goals while generally less …

Background The results obtained from genome-wide association studies (GWAS) often
show pronounced disagreements. Validation of association studies is therefore desired …

The objective of this work was to integrate findings from functional genomics studies with
genome‐wide association studies for fertility and production traits in dairy cattle. Association …

The objectives of this prospective cohort study were to characterize associations among
genomic merit for fertility with ovarian and endocrine function and the estrous behavior of …

Genome-wide association studies for difficult-to-measure traits are generally limited by the
sample population size with accurate phenotypic data. The objective of this study was to …

The study is part of a research effort investigating potential associations between genomic
variation and fertility of Holstein cows. The objective was to compare the reproductive …

The objective of this study was to estimate the heritability of a number of traditional and
endocrine fertility traits in addition to d-56 predicted milk yield (MY56), and the genetic and …
