Multiple Country and Breed Genomic Prediction of Tick Resistance in Beef Cattle

Multiple Country and Breed Genomic Prediction of Tick Resistance in Beef Cattle

Ticks cause substantial production losses for beef and dairy cattle. Cattle resistance to ticks is one of the most important factors affecting tick control, but largely neglected due to the challenge of phenotyping. In this study, we evaluate the pooling of tick resistance phenotyped reference popul...
