Genetic health disorders of cattle

The main aim is to summarize and describe the possibilities of improving genetic resistance of cattle against mastitis with the assistance of genetic selection. Effort to reveal all genetic mastitis parameters is difficult and long term researches of genes associated with mastitis are just in the beginning. The first part is devoted to a description of mastitis, which is one of the major health problems in the breed of dairy cattle and has many of negative impacts. Next are listed selected genes that scientists have so far managed to connect with the disease
