In vivo model to study the impact of genetic variation on clinical outcome of mastitis in uniparous dairy cows
In dairy herds, mastitis causes detrimental economic losses. Genetic selection offers a sustainable tool to select animals with reduced susceptibility towards postpartum diseases. Studying underlying mechanisms is important to assess the physiological processes that cause differences between selected haplotypes.
