Description

Breeding for genetic resilience in farm animals is becoming more important as a consequence of the increasing awareness of pathogen resistance to antibiotics and the need to build more resilient and sustainable agricultural production systems. In this context, the important role the Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) proteins play in immune responses would suggest that improved understanding of the MHC genes is vital to understanding and manipulating genetic resilience to infectious disea...
