Abstract excerpt

Feline obesity is an increasingly important health problem influenced by both genetic predisposition and husbandry practices. This study investigated the prevalence and phenotypic relevance of the feline proopiomelanocortin (POMC) c.28G > C (p.Gly10Arg) variant in a Vietnamese cat population and evaluated environmental factors associated with obesity. A total of 63 clinically healthy cats were classified as...
