A whole-genome scan using single marker association was used to detect chromosome regions associated with seven female fertility traits in Finnish Ayrshire dairy cattle. The phenotypic data consisted of de-regressed estimated breeding values for 340 bulls which were estimated using a single trait model. Genotypes were obtained with the Illumina BovineSNP50 panel and a total of 35 630 informative, high-quality single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers were used. The association analysis was performed using a mixed-model approach which fitted a fixed effect for each SNP and a random polygenic effect. We detected eleven genome-wide significant associations on eight different chromosomes. With at least chromosome-wise significance after Bonferroni correction, sixteen SNPs on nine chromosomes showed significant associations with one or more fertility traits. The results confirmed quantitative trait loci on three chromosomes (1, 2 and 20) for fertility traits previously reported for the same breed and one on chromosome four previously detected in Holstein cattle.
