A genome-wide association study reveals novel SNP markers associated with resilience traits in two Mediterranean dairy sheep breeds

Genetic selection for higher productivity increased dairy sheep susceptibility to diseases and environmental stressors, challenging their health and welfare status and production efficiency. Improving resilience to such stressors can enhance their ability to face these challenges without compromisin...
