Slick Genetics Revolution: How One Gene Could Save Dairy Farmers $5,000 Per Cow Lifetime

A breakthrough in bovine genetics reveals that the slick gene associated with heat tolerance—could significantly enhance dairy cow longevity and productivity. Research suggests carriers of this gene require fewer interventions, reduce mortality rates, and improve milk yield, potentially saving farmers up to $5,000 per cow over its lifetime. This innovation addresses climate challenges while boosting economic sustainability in dairy operations.
