SNPs in the bovine IL-10 receptor are associated with somatic cell score in Canadian dairy bulls
Abstract
Altering the balance between pro- and anti-inflammatory responses can influence an animal’s susceptibility to acute or chronic inflammatory disease; bovine mastitis is no exception. Genetic variation in the form of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) may alter the function and expression of genes that regulate inflammation, making them important candidates for defining an animal’s risk of developing acute or chronic mastitis. The objective …
