Association between growth hormone gene polymorphism and meat productivity parameters in Soviet Merino sheep

https://doi.org/10.26897/2074-0840-2022-2-15-17

Abstract

Studies aimed at fi nding associations between polymorphic variants of the growth hormone gene and quantitative and qualitative characteristics of meat in Soviet merino sheep have been carried out. Based on the conducted genetic analysis by PCR and Sanger sequencing, a replacement of a single nucleotide (SNP) in the DNA sequence of the GH gene was detected, which aff ects meat productivity.
