Genome-wide association study of navel length in Dairy Gir cattle.

Resumen

Descripción

Reproductive complications, such as acroposthitis and preputial infections, are commonly observed in male cattle with excessively long navels. Frequent contact between the reproductive organs and the ground or vegetation facilitates contamination by pathogenic agents, triggering infectious processes. Investigating the genetic architecture underlying this trait is essential to gain deeper insights and guide genetic improvement. In this context, the objective of this study was to identify genomic regions associated with navel length in Dairy Gir cattle, through a single-step genome-wide association study (ssGWAS).
