Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Growth traits are critical determinants of productivity and profitability in sheep breeding programs. The Insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) gene plays a key role in regulating growth, metabolism, and carcass traits. The genetic analysis of IGF-1 genetic polymorphism, circulating hormone levels and age-specific gene expression at different growth stages in Muzaffarnagari sheep has not been...
