The study identified 184 significant SNP markers linked to milk yield, fat percentage, and somatic cell count.
A total of 25 candidate genes related to milk production traits were identified near the significant SNPs.
Using a single-step genome-wide association study, genotypes from 210 Holstein cows were analyzed for milk production traits.
Key genes like ATE1 and FGFR2 are critical for developing disease-resistant dairy herds and enhancing milk quality.
