Exploring genetic variability and its association with growth traits in Rohilkhandi goats.

Abstract excerpt

Goats offer unique social, economic and biological benefits compared to other livestock species and are often referred to as the “poor man’s cow”. This study aimed to examine the polymorphism of six gene loci, namely IGF1, GH1, GH2, MSTN, IGFBP3 and GDF9, in Rohilkhandi goats using PCR-RFLP and assessed their association with various growth traits like body weight measured from birth to 48 months of age....
