One of the global problems that are anthropogenic in nature is the sharp decline in
biodiversity, a special case of which is the reduction in the number of species of wild animals …

Abstract The missense mutation Asp298Asn in the melanocortin 4 receptor (MC4R) is
associated with daily gain or fatness in pigs (Sus scrofa domesticus). However, to the best of …

The growth and development of pigs is determined by their genotype and environmental
conditions (primarily the level of feeding), however, the number of works aimed at studying …

The single nucleotide substitution (Asp298Asn) in the melanocortin-4 receptor (MC4R) gene
has been reported to be associated with several production traits in different swine breeds …

Recently the assessment of QTL genes has been a relevant focus of research. Among other
genes, the RYR1 is one of the most important. Research on this gene for Landrace sows of …

This study was designed to screen the crossbred pigs for SNPs in five candidate genes,
associated with pork quality traits and to differentiate their genotypes by PCR–RFLP. The …

The objective of this study was to assess the polymorphic dispersion of SNP markers in
candidate growth genes and their impact on growth performance of Landlly (Landrace× …

This investigation was undertaken to assess the population of indigenous (Bareilly local)
pigs for meat quality genes (RYR1, PRKAG3, HFABP, MYF-5, and MC4R). The results …

Two potential candidate polymorphisms of melanocortin-4 receptor (MC4R) and leptin (LEP)
genes were genotyped in a purebred Blonde Mangalica and in a Blonde Mangalica× Duroc …

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of MC4R polymorphism on carcass quality
and distribution according to SEUROP classification. Commercial crossbred pigs (♂ P×(♂ …
