Genomic diversity in Chinese Holstein cattle and genome-wide association study for body conformation traits
Our findings offer valuable insights for managing genetic inbreeding in cattle farms, enhancing the understanding of the genetic architecture underlying body conformation traits in Holstein cattle, and accelerating the genomic selection process in Chinese Holsteins.
