New Haplotype
Holstein Association USA: A new Haplotype Impacting Fertility (HH6) was discovered by French researchers, and first reported on at the 2018 International Committee for Animal Recording (ICAR) meeting. HH6 results will be delivered by the Council on Dairy Cattle Breeding (CDCB) with the other haplotypes starting in December 2018, and results will be available for all genomic tested animals at that time. Holstein breeders may find the status of their animals using the Family Tree Search on the HAUSA web site, or Enlight® users may also find the information there. READ MORE
