Researchers find gene clusters in dairy cows that could balance milk production and fertility.
Researchers have identified three gene clusters in dairy cows that could lead to more targeted breeding strategies. The Production Cluster affects milk production without impacting fertility, the Fertility Cluster affects fertility without impacting milk yield, and the All-Rounder Cluster influences both traits. This discovery could help balance milk yield and fertility, though further studies are needed to apply these findings practically.
