Genetic analysis and quantitative trait loci detection of udder traits in Jersey cattle
This study provides valuable insights into the genetic architecture of udder traits in Jersey cattle. The identified genetic markers and candidate genes enhance our understanding of the factors influencing udder development and lactation performance. These findings lay the groundwork for future molecular research aimed at improving udder traits and breeding strategies in dairy cattle.
