Is there a way to manage ticks more effectively in cows?

Recent research study shows that breeding strong tick resistance into all cattle breeds is feasible. That means that ticks in dairy cows can be much more effectively managed, or even eradicated in some countries. Researchers from Australia, Brazil, Scotland and South Africa contributed to the multi-breed analysis. The study concludes that genomic breeding values can be estimated across a wide range of unrelated cattle breeds and used to improve tick resistance. Ticks cost the Australian cattle
