Abstract:
This research project aims to investigate the role of genetics in determining milk production traits in dairy cattle. Milk production is a complex trait influenced by both genetic and environmental factors. Understanding the genetic basis of milk production traits can help in the selection and breeding of dairy cattle for improved milk yield, composition, and quality. The study will focus on evaluating the heritability, genetic correlations, and genomic markers associated with milk production traits in dairy cattle. By unraveling the genetic mechanisms underlying milk production, valuable insights can be gained to enhance breeding programs and optimize dairy cattle management practices.
