In hot, humid weather, it helps them shed heat faster. It\u2019s useful, but it won\u2019t replace good cooling and management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-vivid-red-color has-text-color has-link-color has-large-font-size wp-elements-09d25208d2e4b6c4329daf4191f39624 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Why people like it:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">a. Slick Holsteins tend to show lower core (&lt;0.5 \u00b0C) body temperatures and calmer breathing rates during hot spells, with higher sweating capacity. In practical terms, they handle heat waves better than herdmates without slick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">b. When THI is high, slick cows typically lose less milk versus non-slick Holsteins. In cooler months, yields are comparable across groups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">c. Some herds report better summer fertility indicators (e.g., conception rates) when cows stay cooler.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">d. The effect traces to PRLR variants seen in several breeds. You can introduce slick via conventional breeding (crossing\/backcrossing) or, where regulation allows, via gene-editing programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-vivid-red-color has-text-color has-link-color has-large-font-size wp-elements-2934a1d3e6454c00bde21a5ca09bd137 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Limitations:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">a. Not a silver bullet: Fans, shade, soakers, and ration\/electrolyte tweaks still matter. Slick reduces heat load; it doesn\u2019t erase it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">b. Payoff depends on your climate: The advantage shows up most where THI stays high for long stretches. In temperate seasons or cooler regions, the difference may be small.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">c. Introgression takes discipline: Bringing slick in from donor breeds and recovering elite Holstein production, type, and health indexes requires several backcross generations with tight genomic selection to avoid dragging along unwanted traits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">d. Regulatory and market optics: If you pursue gene-edited slick, approvals and customer acceptance vary by country; conventional introgression is often easier to deploy today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">e. Youngstock results can vary: Some calf\/heifer comparisons show muted differences; management and measurement timing matter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">f. Genetic Limitation: Not a lot of bloodlines with the Slick gene are available, which increases the risk of inbreeding in commercial herds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-dominant-color=\"e3e7d6\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #e3e7d6;\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"545\" src=\"https:\/\/vetnewsandviews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/556863465_31524614647185336_4479724313805133001_n-1024x545.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6569 not-transparent\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vetnewsandviews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/556863465_31524614647185336_4479724313805133001_n-1024x545.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/vetnewsandviews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/556863465_31524614647185336_4479724313805133001_n-300x160.jpg 300w, https:\/\/vetnewsandviews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/556863465_31524614647185336_4479724313805133001_n-768x409.jpg 768w, https:\/\/vetnewsandviews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/556863465_31524614647185336_4479724313805133001_n-1536x818.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/vetnewsandviews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/556863465_31524614647185336_4479724313805133001_n.jpg 2030w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-vivid-red-color has-text-color has-link-color has-large-font-size wp-elements-d19c1617454de13df964c7ee13b66364 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>How to use it well:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">a. Target the problem months: If your site spends a big share of the lactation THI&gt;72, slick can meaningfully buffer performance, especially alongside aggressive cooling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">b. Backcross to elite merit fast: Fix the slick allele while maintaining milk, components, fertility, health, and type via genomic selection; keep an eye on inbreeding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">c. Measure locally: Track vaginal\/rectal temp, respiration rate, daily milk by THI, and conception metrics for slick vs. non-slick cohorts. Data will tell you the true ROI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">d. Keep cooling first-class: High-velocity airflow, shade, feed-line soaking, water availability, DCAD\/electrolytes, and stocking density still drive most of the outcome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-vivid-red-color has-text-color has-link-color has-large-font-size wp-elements-549cea56e9cb957b513a09dad6b40351 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Summary:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Think of slick as a useful layer of genetic insurance for hot climates. It can trim the summer milk penalty and improve cow comfort, but it pays best when you\u2019re already doing the fundamentals right. I do not see it as a solution to the problem, but a small aid in the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-vivid-cyan-blue-color has-text-color has-link-color has-medium-font-size wp-elements-d3b7f7a066d03daa32f18137e1e627a8 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Written by Malik Muhammad Ali<\/strong><br><strong>International Sales Manager<br>Alta Genetics<br>Dairy Consultant<br>Nishat Dairy Farm<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The slick coat (a dominant variant in the prolactin receptor, PRLR) gives cows a naturally shorter, smoother hair coat.
