- Association between SSCPs at Algarvia goat GH and milk traitsPublication . Malveiro, Elisabete; Marques, P. X.; Santos, Ingrid; Belo, Carmona; Cravador, A.The DNA from one hundred eight goats belonging to the indigenous portuguese Algarvia breed was analysed. Single-strand conformation polymorphismÕs (SSCP) were identified at the five exons of the goat Growth Hormone (gGH) gene. Two conformational patterns were found in each of exons 1 and 2, four in exon 3, seven in exon 4 and five in exon 5. The establishment of an association of these SSCP patterns with milk, fat and protein production, and fat and protein content was attempted. Patterns A, F and D of exons 2, 4 and 5, respectively, are positively associated with milk, fat and protein production (p<0.05). Pattern A of exon 2 is also positively associated with fat content (p<0.05).
- Polymorphisms at the five exons of gowth hormone gene in the Algarvia Goat. Possible association with milk traitsPublication . Malveiro, Elisabete; Pereira, M.; Marques, P. X.; Santos, Ingrid; Belo, Carmona; Renaville, Robert; Cravador, A.The present preliminary study attempts to establish associations between milk production traits and genetic polymorphisms at the GH gene in the Algarvia goat. The DNA of 108 goats of the indigenous Portuguese Algarvia breed was evaluated.
