Telomere attrition rates are associated with weather conditions and predict productive lifespan in dairy cattle

Abstract Telomere length is predictive of adult health and survival across vertebrate species. However, we currently do not know whether such associations result from among-individual differences in telomere length determined genetically or by early-life environmental conditions, or from differences...
