Abstract excerpt
The involvement of melanocortin-3 receptor (MC3R) is well recognized in the regulation of feeding efficiency, body weight, and energy homeostasis. The objective of this study was to investigate the associations between MC3R gene polymorphisms and growth traits. Three novel SNPs (c.24C→T, c.220T→A, c.734G→C) and five haplotypes were identified in 234 Xiangxi cattle. The associations between MC3R gene polymorphisms...
