From candidate genes to whole-genome approaches: current insights into the genetic architecture of ovine milk production and quality traits
Milk production and composition traits are important characteristics in dairy sheep, influencing milk quality, cheesemaking performance, and the economic value of dairy products. Early genetic studies focused on candidate genes, particularly milk protein genes, endocrine regulators, and lipid-metabolism genes. Among th...
