Comparison of Marker Effects and Breeding Values at Two Levels at THI for Milk Yield and Quality Traits in Brazilian Holstein Cows
Genomic tools can help in the selection of animals genetically resistant to heat stress, especially the genome-wide association studies (GWAS). The objective of this study was to compare the variance explained by SNPs and direct genomic breeding values (DGVs) at two levels of a temperature and humid...

description | Genomic tools can help in the selection of animals genetically resistant to heat stress, especially the genome-wide association studies (GWAS). The objective of this study was to compare the variance explained by SNPs and direct genomic breeding values (DGVs) at two levels of a temperature and humidity index (THI). Records of milk yield (MY), somatic cell score (SCS), and percentages of casein (CAS), saturated fatty acids (SFA), and unsaturated fatty acids (UFA) in milk from 1157 Holstein cows were used. Traditional breeding values (EBV) were determined in a previous study and used as pseudo-phenotypes. Two levels of THI (heat comfort zone and heat stress zone) were used as environments and were treated as “traits” in a bi-trait model. The GWAS was performed using the genomic best linear unbiased prediction (GBLUP) method. Considering the top 50 SNPs, a total of 36 SNPs were not common between environments, eight of which were located in gene regions related to the evaluated traits. Even for those SNPs that had differences in their explained variances between the two environments, the differences were very small. The animals showed virtually no rank order, with rank correlation values of 0.90, 0.88, 1.00, 0.88, and 0.97 for MY, CAS, SCS, SFA, and UFA, respectively. The small difference between the environments studied can be attributed to the small difference in the pseudo-phenotypes used between the environments, on-farm acclimation, the polygenic nature of the traits, and the THI values studied near the threshold between comfort and heat stress. It is recommended that future studies be conducted with a larger number of animals and at more extreme THI levels. |
