Genetic architecture of thermotolerance traits in beef cattle: a novel integration of SNP and breed-of-origin effects

Genetic architecture of thermotolerance traits in beef cattle: a novel integration of SNP and breed-of-origin effects

BackgroundRising temperatures increasingly expose beef cattle to heat stress, reducing productivity and welfare, especially in tropical climates. Crossbreeding Bos t. taurus and Bos t. indicus has emerged as a critical strategy to balance the production efficiency of taurine breeds with the superior...
