The candidate gene approach is now exploited in sheep and goats, aiming to identify the
molecular mechanisms, which make milks of different quality. In this paper, the relevant …

In recent years, the important effects of growth hormone on a broad variety of physiological
parameters, such as lactation, reproduction, growth, and metabolism, have attracted many …

Growth hormone (GH) has an effect on a broad variety of physiological parameters such as
lactation, reproduction, growth and metabolism. Thus, the aim of this study was to detect GH …

Identification of genetic markers that affect economically important traits is of high value from
a biological point of view, enabling the targeting of candidate genes and providing practical …

The growth hormone gene could be an attractive candidate gene for milk production in
goats. Single-strand conformation polymorphism was used to identify polymorphism at the …

Two active mutations (A 781 G and A 1575 G) in growth hormone (GH) gene, and their
associations with litter size (LS), were investigated in both a high prolificacy (Matou, n= 182) …

Genetic polymorphism studies in domestic animals aim at evaluating genetic variations
within and across breeds mainly for conservation purposes. In this study, polymerase chain …

Goats were among the first animals to be domesticated over 10,000 years ago and are part
of human societies since the beginning of agriculture. Goats play a major role both in …

The growth hormone gene plays an important role in the physiological function of an
organism. The current study aimed to investigate the correlation between polymorphisms in …

Growth hormone (GH) selected for its important role in economically relevant traits and
signal transducers and activators of transcription 5A (STAT5A) is also known as a main …
