Bovine Spastic Syndrome is a chronic, progressive disorder primarily affecting dairy cattle over three years old and has been observed globally, including in Sweden. It occurs in both beef and dairy breeds.
Given that Bovine Spastic Syndrome appears to be a significant issue in Sweden, further investigation is needed to assess its impact and understand its pathogenesis. Confirming the genetic basis of the syndrome and developing diagnostic tools for prevention will be crucial. This requires a careful identification of cases and controls, as the disease appears to be genetically complex. We propose generating preliminary sequencing data to identify some mutations
