A genomics approach to increasing disease resistance in dairy cows through improvements in innate immunity (INNATELYBETTERCOWS)
Date du début: 1 août 2015, Date de fin: 31 juil. 2016,
Our hypothesis is that genetic selection for high yielding dairy cows has been associated with reduced innate immune responses. This predisposes cows to common diseases such as mastitis and endometritis, reducing fertility and decreasing longevity. We propose that this trend could be reversed by identifying key genes involving innate immune function and selective breeding of more robust cows. The ...
