Genetic marking of live weight of meat sheep at an early age
Submitted by Гость (not verified) on Mon, 01/13/2025 - 14:38The study analyzed the genetic diversity of polymorphism in the calpain ( CAPN1 ) and leptin ( LEP ) genes in ewes and rams of the Kalmyk fat-tailed breed and the influence of different genotypes on their live weight and average daily gain. It was found that the proportion of the C allele in the CAPN1 locus was higher in rams, while the T and C alleles were equally frequent in ewes. The T allele was more common in ewes and rams than in the parent stock. In the LEP locus, animals with the AG genotype were most common.
