Identification of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with heat stress and milk production traits in Chinese holstein cows
In conclusion, we demonstrated that these three genes had significant genetic effects on HS and milk production traits. And g.44,660,065 C > T in the HSPA4 gene could be used as functional molecular markers for the genetic selection of dairy cows for improving heat tolerance without compromising their high milk performance.
