Study of growth hormone gene and its relationship to body weight in Goat

Abstract

Abstract Experiment was conducted in Ruminant Research of the Department of Agricultural Research Station/ MOA located in Abu Ghraib and in cooperation with bio-technology center/ University of Nahrin (laboratory work) for the period from 20/09/2012 till 30/09/2013 for the season productive one 2013. Were analyzed 206 record of them 64 record of breed local goats and (142 record) strain Cypriot goats in order to study the growth hormone gene relationship with birth weight. The number of genotypes in the Cypriot goat animal samples with the highest merit and hereditary (AB 9 + AA 1) compared with the Cypriot goat animal samples with the lowest merit and hereditary in prescription birth weight (AB 6 + AA 4), and the number of genotypes in goats animal samples local with the highest merit and hereditary (AB 9 + AA 1) compared with the domestic animals, goats samples with at least deserved a genetic recipe for birth weight (AB 9 + AA 1). We conclude that the genotypes between the local goat breed and Cypriot goat breed for type genotypes for Jane growth hormone similar to the presence of two models and Rathein two AA and AB shows allele AB in both strains and repeated Jenny loud while allele AA appears less frequently in both strains with the possibility of the use of genotypes growth hormone markers for animals with high productive performance for use in herd improvement, especially local ones
