Identification of SNPs located on BTA 6 and BTA 20 significantly associated with bovine respiratory disease in crossbred cattle
“Identification of SNPs located on BTA 6 and BTA 20 significantly associated with bovine respiratory disease in crossbred cattle”, vol. 15, p. -, 2016.
, The objective of the present study was to evaluate single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) located in two quantitative trait locus (QTL) regions (BTA 6 and BTA 20) that are associated with bovine respiratory disease (BRD). A population of 323 crossbred steers sired by five purebred sire breeds during 2010-2013 (Angus, Braford, Braunvieh, Charolais, and Simmental) were evaluated for BRD susceptibility during the finishing process at a commercial feedlot.
