Cattle Health

ALL BREEDS

The December 2023 genetic evaluations focused highly on the changes brought about by haplotypes with genomic testing.

Considering this a fairly new genetic feature, please follow the link below to read the Hoard’s Dairyman article written by the CDCB and to better understand haplotypes, haplotype calls, and their contribution to identifying genetic factors in cattle.
