Hyperketonemia (HYK) is one of the most frequent and costly metabolic disorders in high-
producing dairy cows and its diagnosis is based on β-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) concentration …

Simple Summary The discovery of the genome has been one of the greatest advances in the
development of tools for the genetic improvement of cattle in the last decades. The use of …

Background Health traits are of significant economic importance to the dairy industry due to
their effects on milk production and associated treatment costs. Genome-wide association …

Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have been widely used to determine the genetic
architecture of quantitative traits in dairy cattle. In this study, with the aim of identifying …

Ketosis in dairy cows is often accompanied by the dysregulation of lipid homeostasis in the
liver. Acetyl-coenzyme A acetyltransferase 2 (ACAT2) is specifically expressed in the liver …

The objectives of this study were to estimate the global prevalence of SCK in dairy cows, to
identify optimum thresholds for BHB determining, to explore heterogeneity for some …

Background Ketosis in dairy cattle has been shown to cause a high morbidity in the farm and
substantial financial losses to dairy farmers. Ketosis symptoms, however, are difficult to …

Ketosis is one of the most frequent metabolic diseases in high-yielding dairy cows and is
characterized by high concentrations of ketone bodies in blood, urine, and milk, causing …

Ketosis is a metabolic disorder of increasing importance in high-yielding dairy cows, but
accurate population-wide binary health trait recording is difficult to implement. Against this …

Genetic diversity is of great importance and a prerequisite for genetic improvement and
conservation programs in pigs and other livestock populations. The present study provides a …
