Figure 1 - The SLICK hair locus derived from Senepol cattle confers thermotolerance to intensively managed lactating Holstein cows

Representative examples of the slick phenotype in Holsteins. Panel A shows a slick (left) and non-slick cow; a close up of the face of a slick cow is shown in panel B. Note the absence of long hairs on the poll. Shown in panels C and D are examples of the shaved areas of the rump of slick (C) and wild-type (D) cows. Color version available in the online PDF.
