Genetic parameters and genome-wide association study of digital cushion thickness in Holstein cows

Genetic parameters and genome-wide association study of digital cushion thickness in Holstein cows

ABSTRACT: The digital cushion is linked to the development of claw horn lesions (CHL) in dairy cattle. The objectives of this study were to (1) estimate genetic parameters for digital cushion thickness (DCT), (2) estimate the genetic correlation between DCT and CHL, and (3) identify candidate genes...
