Genome-wide association study reveals key genomic regions underlying colostrability in Italian Holstein cattle

Colostrum yield (CY, L) and concentration of immunoglobulin G (IgG, g/L) are important phenotypes to monitor in dairy farms because of their association with the risk of failure of the passive transfer of immunity in the newborn calf. This can occur when the CY of the parturient cow is insufficient or when the IgG conc...

Multiple birth in Austrian Holsteins: genetic parameters and impacts on calving, health, fertility, and milk production traits.

Multiple birth (MB) is associated with adverse effects on cow fertility and calf survival, thereby contributing to economic losses for dairy farmers; however, it is not currently included in routine genetic evaluations or selection indices in cattle worldwide. This study aimed to (i) estimate the h2 and repeatability o...
