Association of polymorphisms in the ovine Leptin gene with body weight and body measurement traits in Balkhi sheep

GH-mRNA expression and prediction of genetic improvement using selection index for body weight traits in turkeys

Abstract This study aimed to evaluate the expected responses to a selection index based on body-weight-related traits to improve the productive performance of turkeys and to investigate the relationship between body weight and growth hormone (GH) gene expression. Two lines of local Baladi turkeys were used: a selected...

Polymorphism of the CSN3 gene and its association with the blood biochemical profile in Holstein cattle

Molecular genetic markers, such as the polymorphism of the kappa-casein gene (CSN3), are a important tool for increasing the efficiency of dairy cattle breeding. The aim of this study was to investigate CSN3 polymorphism in a Holstein cattle population and to assess its associations with blood biochemical parameters re...

The influence of SLCO2B1 gene polymorphisms on live weight in Manych Merino sheep

The study aimed to evaluate the association of SLCO2B1 gene polymorphisms with live weight in Manych Merino rams. Genotyping was performed using whole-genome sequencing (NovaSeq 6000) of 30 clinically healthy nine-month-old rams, randomly selected from three unrelated lines (relatedness coefficient ≤0.5). Mapping to th...

Association of KIRREL3 Intronic Polymorphisms with Carcass Traits, Meat Quality, and Muscle Fatty Acid Composition in Woking Cattle

Simple Summary This study examined whether two SNPs in the KIRREL3 gene are associated with meat quality in Woking cattle, a high-quality beef breed developed in Jilin Province, China (n = 473, plus an independent validation cohort of n = 41). At the 63-bp site (g.29756010C>T), TT animals showed higher dressing percent...
