Blood transcriptome analysis and identification of genes associated with supernumerary teats in Chinese Holstein cows
ABSTRACT: In dairy cows, supernumerary teats (SNT) are not desired as they are considered a repository for bacteria; thus, SNT are a risk factor for mastitis. Supernumerary teats are a heritable oligo- or polygenic trait. The incidence of SNT in offspring must be reduced by genomic selection. Howeve...
