Genome partitioning of genetic variation for milk production and composition traits in Holstein cattle

The objective of this study was to estimate the contribution of each autosome to genetic variation of milk yield, fat and protein percentage and somatic cell score in Holstein cattle. Data on 2294 Holstein bulls genotyped for 39’557 autosomal markers were used. Three approaches were applied to the e...
