Research Progress of Key Candidate Genes for Growth Traits in Dairy Cows
Dairy cow is one of the important breeds of animal husbandry in China.Studying the genetic basis of dairy cow traits can improve the breeding efficiency of dairy cow and provide strong support for the sustainable development of animal husbandry.As a new generation of molecular breeding technology,genome selection technology can realize"precise breeding",effectively improve breeding efficiency,shorten breeding life,and is widely used in the field of livestock breeding.In this paper,six functional genes that potentially affect the growth traits of dairy cows were reviewed in order to provide theoretical basis for breeding and breeding of cattle.
