Loci associated with spontaneous abortion in primiparous Holstein cattle
The difference in loci associated with AI-bred and ET recipient cattle may be due to differences in mechanisms associated with the maintenance of pregnancy between <i>in vivo</i> and <i>in vitro</i> derived embryos, or a larger sample size may be needed to identify additional shared loci. Identifying loci associated with SA in AI-bred and ET recipient cows provides an opportunity to enhance selection for reproductive efficiency in Holstein cattle.
