Multitrait meta-analyses identify potential candidate genes for growth-related traits in Holstein heifers

ABSTRACT: Understanding the underlying pleiotropic relationships among growth and body size traits is important for refining breeding strategies in dairy cattle for optimal body size and growth rate. Therefore, we performed single-trait GWAS for monthly-recorded body weight (BW), hip height, body le...
