Structural equation modeling for investigating multi-trait genetic architecture of udder health in dairy cattle
Abstract Mastitis is one of the most prevalent and costly diseases in dairy cattle. It results in changes in milk composition and quality which are indicators of udder inflammation in absence of clinical signs. We applied structural equation modeling (SEM) - GWAS aiming to explore interrelated depen...
