Back in 2014, LIC was the first to discover the ‘Slick 1’ genetic variant in cattle, which produces a short hair coat and improves heat tolerance https://www.nature.com/articles/ncomms6861
Ironically, this gene to keep cows cool was only discovered after LIC scientists first identified a genetic variation that made cows very hairy. Realising the likelihood that an opposite gene might exist resulted in the eventual discovery of the ‘slick’ variant in the Prolactin receptor (PRLR). https://www.lic.co.nz/about/research-publications/increasing-heat-tolerance-in-cows/
