PS11-14. Performance and Physiological Responses of Beef Calves Carrying the Slick PRLR Allele During the Post-weaning Period.

Natural mutations in the prolactin receptor gene (PRLR) result in slick hair phenotype and improved thermoregulation. Gene-editing technologies allow the introduction of novel variants into PRLR, providing a strategy to rapidly incorporate slick phenotype into cattle populations. The objective of this study was to ev...
