Abstract excerpt
The objectives of the current study were to evaluate the associations among reproductive performance of Holstein cows, single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the R4C locus of the Exon-2 region of the leptin gene and health disorders. Lactating dairy cows (n=814) had their DNA sequenced at the Exon-2 region of the leptin gene to determine the presence of SNP in the R4C locus. Cows had the stage of estrous cycle...
