Test | Cattle included | Test type | Performed to evaluate |
---|---|---|---|
T1 | All | Across all groups (n = 9) | Outliers among all groups |
T2 | Jutland Kortegaard versus Oregaard‐lineages | Pairwise | Genetic drift in native breed lineages (few/no results expected) |
T3 | Old bulls pre‐1980 (cryopreserved SDM‐1965) versus Holstein cattle | Pairwise | Native versus commercial breed; selection for local environmental conditions in native cattle |
T4 | Old bulls pre‐1980 (cryopreserved SDM‐1965) versus Western Norwegian Red‐polled cattle | Pairwise | Two native breeds; selection for different landscape types (rugged terrain in Western Norway, gentle terrain in Denmark) |
T5 | Western Norwegian Red‐polled cattle versus Western Norwegian Fjord cattle | Pairwise | Two native breeds; selection for polled phenotype (without horns) in Red‐polled cattle |
T6 | Old bulls post‐1980 (cryopreserved Jutland) versus Holstein cattle | Pairwise | Native versus commercial breed; selection for local environmental conditions in native cattle |
T7 | Old bulls post‐1980 (cryopreserved Jutland) versus Western Norwegian Red‐polled cattle | Pairwise | Two native breeds; selection for different landscape types (rugged terrain in Western Norway, gentle terrain in Denmark) |
A description of cattle breeds and lineages is provided in Table 1.
