Genome-wide elucidation of CNV regions and their association with production and reproduction traits in composite Vrindavani cattle

•We elucidated putative CNVs and CNV regions in Vrindavani cattle using Bovine SNP50 genotyping data.•252 putative CNVs were detected which further concatenated into 69 CNVRs.•Five CNVRs were significantly associated with 10 (re)production traits in Vrindavani population.•The study provides useful insights to establish the comprehensive CNV map of Vrindavani population for association studies.
