Journal ArticleDOI

Hans D. Daetwyler,Aurélien Capitan,Hubert Pausch,Paul Stothard,Rianne van Binsbergen,R.F. Brøndum,Xiaoping Liao,Anis Djari,Sabrina Rodriguez,Cécile Grohs,Diane Esquerre,Olivier Bouchez,Marie-Noelle Rossignol,Christophe Klopp,Dominique Rocha,Sébastien Fritz,André Eggen,Phil J. Bowman,David Coote,Amanda J. Chamberlain,Charlotte Anderson,Curt P VanTassell,Ina Hulsegge,Michael E. Goddard,Bernt Guldbrandtsen,M.S. Lund,Roel F. Veerkamp,Didier Boichard,Ruedi Fries,Ben J.

TL;DR: The 1000 bull genomes project supports the goal of accelerating the rates of genetic gain in domestic cattle while at the same time considering animal health and welfare by providing the annotated sequence variants and genotypes of key ancestor bulls.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genetic parameters for clinical mastitis, somatic cell score, production, udder type traits, and milking ease in first lactation Holsteins.
Rachel Rupp,Didier Boichard +1 more
TL;DR: Genetic parameters were estimated by restricted maximum likelihood with an animal model on first lactation data of 29,284 French Holstein cows for clinical mastitis, lactation somatic cell score, milking ease, production, and nine udder type traits to indicate that both traits were genetically favorably associated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genetics of resistance to mastitis in dairy cattle.
Rachel Rupp,Didier Boichard +1 more
TL;DR: Improvement of selection accuracy for mastitis resistance is ongoing and includes: advances in modelling, optimal combination of mastitis related traits and associated predictors, such as udder morphology, definition of global breeding objective including production and functional traits, and inclusion of molecular information that is now available from QTL experiments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Detection of genes influencing economic traits in three french dairy cattle breeds
Didier Boichard,Cécile Grohs,F. Bourgeois,Frédérique Cerqueira,Rémi Faugeras,André Neau,Rachel Rupp,Y. Amigues,Marie-Yvonne Boscher,Hubert Levéziel +9 more
TL;DR: This project of QTL detection was carried out in the French Holstein, Normande, and Montbéliarde dairy cattle breeds and confirmed several already published QTL but most of them were original, particularly for non-production traits.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mapping quantitative trait loci for milk production and health of dairy cattle in a large outbred pedigree.
Qin Zhang,Didier Boichard,Ina Hoeschele,C. A. Ernst,André Eggen,B. Murkve,Margaret Pfister-Genskow,LaRee A. Witte,F. Grignola,Pekka Uimari,G. Thaller,Michael D. Bishop +11 more
TL;DR: Quantitative trait loci affecting milk production and health of dairy cattle were mapped in a very large Holstein granddaughter design, and some chromosomes showed some evidence for 2 linked QTL affecting the same trait.
