Abstract excerpt
Kalmyk cattle are an important meat breed in Kazakhstan, valued for their strong physique, genetic stability, and adaptability. In this study, we investigated the mRNA expression of ELOVL fatty acid elongase 6 (ELOVL6) and CREB-regulated transcription coactivator 2 (CRTC2) across multiple tissues, and further examined their genetic variations and associations with growth and carcass traits in 200 Kalmyk cattle....
