1. Introduction The fat percentage (FPC) in Holstein cattle has the strongest genetic effects among dairy traits, and the gene of diacylglycerol O-acyltransferase 1 (DGAT1) of chromosome 14 (Chr14) has been widely confirmed to contain the most significant effects of FPC [1,2,3,4,5,6,7], including the effect of the K232A variant [3,4,5] and the effect of the single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) marker rs109421300 (ARS-BFGL-NGS-4939) in DGAT1 [1,6].

2. Results and Discussion The GWAS detected 7576, 3798, and 726 additive effects and 22, 27, and 25 dominance effects with log10(1/p) > 8 for DPR, CCR, and HCR, respectively, for a total of 12,100 additive effects and 74 dominance effects for the three fertility traits. These effects were considerably more than the 487 additive effects and 5 dominance effects for the same three fertility traits reported in the 2019 study [8].
