This project investigates the genetic factors influencing the immune responses of dairy cows to improve their health and productivity. By identifying key genes related to innate immunity, the research aims to enhance selective breeding practices, ultimately leading to healthier cows and reduced disease prevalence.
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 research objectives are: (1) to perform genome wide association studies to identify regions associa…
