Increasing productivity is one of the main objectives in animal production. Traditional
breeding methods have led to increased gains in some traits but gains are not easily …

It is well known that cheese yield and quality are affected by animal genetics, milk quality
(chemical, physical, and microbiological), production technology, and the type of rennet and …

A cattle database of candidate genes and genetic markers for milk production and mastitis
has been developed to provide an integrated research tool incorporating different types of …

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) based on high throughput SNP genotyping
technologies open a broad avenue for exploring genes associated with milk production traits …

Detecting genes associated with milk fat composition could provide valuable insights into
the complex genetic networks of genes underling variation in fatty acids synthesis and point …

The aim of our study was to estimate effects of polymorphisms in the ATP‐binding cassette
G2 (ABCG2), fatty acid synthase (FASN), oxidized low‐density lipoprotein receptor 1 …

Body size is an important indicator of growth and health in sheep. In the present study, we
performed Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS) to detect significant single-nucleotide …

Decrease in fertility and conception rates is a major cause of economic loss and cow culling
in dairy herds. Conception rate is the product of fertilization rate and embryonic survival rate …

Background Fertility is one of the most critical factors controlling biological and financial
performance of animal production systems and genetic improvement of lines. The objective …

The aim of this study was to estimate allelic and genotypic frequencies of five DNA markers
that are positional and functional candidates for milk production traits in Czech Fleckvieh …
