On the back of the genomics revolution significant investment has been made towards the
identification of candidate growth genes in livestock that can be used to speed up genetic …

Goat plays a crucial role in human livelihoods, being a major source of meat, milk, fiber, and
hides, particularly under adverse climatic conditions. The goat genomics related to the …

The problem of heat stress (HS) in hot regions of the world is further complicated by climate
change and the ensuing global warming. Goats have been a means of sustenance for rural …

Increasing productivity is one of the main objectives in animal production. Traditional
breeding methods have led to increased gains in some traits but gains are not easily …

The Canchim beef cattle (5/8 Charolais+ 3/8 Zebu) has been selected for meat production in
Brazil since late 1950. In the present work the effects of growth hormone (GH) and insulin …

The objective of this study was to determine the association of single nucleotide
polymorphisms (SNPs) in selected candidate genes with fattening performance traits in a …

Understanding the genetic basis of variation in traits related to growth and fillet quality in
Atlantic salmon is of importance to the aquaculture industry. Several growth‐related QTL …

The objectives of the present study were to estimate the allele and genotype frequencies of
the GH1/Alu I and POU1F1/Hinf I polymorphisms in beef cattle belonging to different genetic …

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

Lipid and energy metabolism are major constituents of mammal growth and thus fattening
performance of cattle. This study was designed to evaluate the effects of polymorphisms in …
