Telomere Length in Neonatal Dairy Calves in Relation to Lifetime Parameters

Telomere Length in Neonatal Dairy Calves in Relation to Lifetime Parameters

Telomere length (TL) has gained attention as a biomarker for longevity and productivity in dairy cattle. This study explored the association between neonatal TL in Holstein calves and lifetime parameters (lifespan, milk production, and reproduction). Blood samples were collected from 210 calves (≤10...
