Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleThe Single and Combined Effect of MC4R and GH Genes on Productive Traits of PigsLyubov Getmantseva, Maria Leonova, Aleksander Usatov et al.The aim of our work is to identify the single and combined effect of MC4R and GH polymorphism genes on growth and reproduction traits of pigs. The study was carried out on 204 crossbred F1 females (♀Landrace х ♂Large White) of the Breeding Farm in Russia. The analyzed productive traits were: The number of Days to 100-kg (Days to 100 … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 1 · 18 Jan 2017 · 8,115 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsPolymorphisms in Several Porcine Genes are Associated with Growth TraitsGetmantseva Lyubov, Anatoly Kolosov, Maria Leonova et al.The purpose of this study was to confirm the relation between polymorphism of POU1F1, GH, PRLR and MC4R genes and economically important traits of the Duroc pigs bred in Russia. Studies were carried out on purebred Duroc breed pigs (male n = 360). All pigs were kept under identical and standard conditions. The traits of analysis: The number of Days … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 12 Nov 2016 · 7,415 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEFFECTS OF MELANOCORTIN-4 RECEPTOR GENE ON GROWTH AND MEAT TRAITS IN PIGS RAISED IN RUSSIAA. Klimenko, A. Usatov, Lyubov Getmantseva et al.The Melanocortin-4 Receptor (MC4R), a G-protein coupled receptor, is implicated in mediating the effect of leptin on food intake and energy balance. A previous candidate gene study reported an association between an MC4R polymorphism (Asp298Asn) and growth and meat productive traits of pigs. The aim of this work was to determine frequencies of the MC4R/Taq I genotypes and alleles in … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 11 Feb 2014 · 7,608 accessesView PDF Cite
