Study finds genetic differences in milk production traits in bactrian camels, highlighting candidate genes for breeding.

Eight candidate genes related to lactation traits were identified, offering potential for enhancing milk production.
Approximately 6.4 million SNPs were detected, establishing distinct population structures between eastern and northern camels.
Pathway analyses revealed gene enrichment in plasma membrane and thyroid hormone synthesis in eastern camels.
Research may provide molecular guidance to improve lactation traits through selective breeding strategies.

Li et al. (2025) studied this question.
