Gene Mapping and Gene-Set Analysis for Milk Fever Incidence in Holstein Dairy Cattle

Gene Mapping and Gene-Set Analysis for Milk Fever Incidence in Holstein Dairy Cattle

Milk fever is an important metabolic disorder that affects dairy cows around parturition. It is associated with a breakdown in the mechanisms of calcium homeostasis, resulting in very low blood calcium levels (hypocalcemia). The main objective of this study was to dissect the genetic basis underlyin...
