Ethics approval and consent to participate
: All animal experiments were conducted in strict accordance with the rules and guidelines outlined in the New Zealand Animal Welfare Act 1999. For the mammary tissue biopsy experiment, samples were obtained in accordance with protocols approved by the Ruakura Animal Ethics Committee, Hamilton, New Zealand (approval AEC 12845). These cows were situated on Tokanui Research Dairy Farm and written permission was sought and obtained to biopsy mammary tissue from the owner of these animals (AgResearch, NZ). All other data were generated as part of routine commercial activities and were therefore outside the scope for formal committee assessment and ethical approval (as defined by the above guidelines).
: Not applicable.
: MDL, KT, TL, TJ, RJS and SRD are employees of Livestock Improvement Corporation, a commercial provider of bovine germplasm. The authors declare that no other potential competing interests exist.
