This study aimed to evaluate the impact of copy number variants (CNV) on 13 reproduction and 12 disease traits in Holstein cattle. Intensity signal files containing log R ratio B allele frequency information from 13,730 animals genotyped with a 95K SNP panel, 8,467 50K panel were used identify CNVs. Subsequently, identified CNVs validated using whole-genome sequence data 126 animals, resulting 870 high-confidence variant regions (CNVR) 12,131 animals. Out these, 54 CNVR had frequencies...
The objective of this study was to investigate genetic variability mid infrared predicted fatty acids groups in Canadian Holstein cows. Milk samples were collected by CanWest DHI (Guelph, ON, Canada) and Valacta (Ste.-Anne-de-Bellevue, QC, during routine milk recordings. analyzed using MilkoScan FT6000 spectrometers (Foss, Hillerød, Denmark). infra-red spectra generated from January 2013 July 2015 standardized then for five acids: short-chain (C4–C10), medium-chain (C12–C16), long-chain...
