Clear Identification of Bulls Affected by Crampiness on Test Sheets

Reference ID:1515

Whereas that crampiness is a major factor in cow culling in Quebec with significant economic consequences for breeders.

Whereas that it is currently impossible to identify a specific gene responsible for crampiness using genomic testing.

Whereas the scarcity of available data and that the prevalence of crampiness in a bull’s offspring is difficult to access being located in a very specific place that most breeders do not know how to find on the LactanetGen and on the Holstein Canada websites.

Whereas that the accessibility and visibility of data relating to haplotypes and certain diseases have greatly improved with the three dots tab under the cow’s name on LactanetGen.

Whereas it would be easy to add an indicator for crampiness in this location.

Therefore, Lactanet is requested to easily find bulls with crampiness on LactanetGen.
