Abstract excerpt
The growth hormone receptor (GHR), the growth hormone releasing hormone receptor (GHRHR), and the insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF1) genes are known to modulate growth, reproduction, and lactation traits in livestock. The aim of the current work was to investigate if the variation of the sheep GHR, GHRHR, and IGF1 genes is associated with milk yield and quality traits. Three hundred eighty dairy Sarda sheep were...
