Abstract excerpt
Improving feed efficiency would increase profitability for producers. The objective of this study was to detect the expression levels of ME1 and CA1 and the polymorphisms of ME1 and CA1 associated with the feed conversion ratio (FCR) and residual feed intake (RFI) of Hu sheep by using qRT-PCR, pooled DNA sequencing and KASPar assay. The qRT-PCR results indicated that the expression levels of ME1 and CA1 were...
