Polymorphisms in Fatty Acid Desaturase 2 Gene Are Associated with Milk Production Traits in Chinese Holstein Cows

This study investigated the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of Fatty acid desaturase 2 (<i>FADS2</i>) gene and further explored their genetic effects on conventionally collected milk production traits in Chinese Holstein cows using 18,264 test-day records of 841 cows. One missense...
