Abstract excerpt
Investigating the genetic attributes of indigenous goat breeds is crucial for their conservation and breeding. The Matou goat, a valued native breed of Southern China, is characterized by high meat quality and reproductive efficiency, representing an important genetic resource for livestock production. Its genetic basis underlying productive traits remains unclear at the whole-genome level. Therefore, this study...
