Association of Melatonin Receptor 1A Gene Polymorphisms with Production and Reproduction Traits in Zandi Sheep

Melatonin regulates some major physiological processes such as maturation and function of reproductive system, pubertal development, seasonal reproduction and adaptation. The activation of melatonin hormone is mediated by melatonin receptor. Previous studies showed melatonin receptor 1A gene (MTNR1A) is highly polymorphic in seasonally breeding species. The aim of the present study was detectio...

Transferrin Genetic Types in Fulani and Yoruba Ecotype of Nigeria Indigenous Chickens

Fulani ecotype chickens (FEC) and Yoruba ecotype chickens (YEC) are the two major types of indigenous chickens in Nigeria. They subsist under traditional Animal husbandry and are thus liable to indiscriminate mating and consequently to loss of genetic diversity. Fulani ecotype chickens (FEC) and Yoruba ecotype chickens (YEC) were investigated to determine genetic variation at transferrin locus ...

A survey of hemoglobins, transferrins and certain red cell antigens in nine breeds of sheep.

A L T H O U G H numerous red cell antigens, two electrophoretic forms of hemoglobin and at least 13 electrophoi*etic forms of transferrin have been described in domestic sheep (see RASMUSEN 1962; OGDEN 1961 ; and ASHTON and F E R G U ~ O N 1963), there have been no reports in which these three kinds of markers have been used conjointly in breed comparisons. Furthermore, there have been no repor...
