Sumbawa cattle: a study of growth hormone (GH) gene variants and their association with biometric traits.

The growth hormone (GH) gene plays a vital role in regulating animal metabolism and body size, making it a potential candidate for influencing livestock performance. This study aimed to investigate the polymorphisms within the GH gene and their associations with 10 biometric traits in the Sumbawa cattle population of Indonesia. Biometric trait data and blood samples were collected from 112 Sumbawa cattle individuals, and their GH gene sequences were analyzed using two sets of primers for amplification.

Biodiversity of Indonesian indigenous buffalo: First review of the status, challenges, and development opportunities.

In Indonesia, the buffalo is important for small and marginal farmers' livelihood and economic development as a source of food, working animal, and tourist attraction. Therefore, an in-depth study is needed to examine challenges and opportunities for buffalo development in Indonesia. In Indonesia, the buffalo is divided into two types: swamp buffalo and river buffalo.

Association of selected gene polymorphisms with thermotolerance traits in cattle - A review.

Thermal stress due to extreme changes in the thermal environment is a critical issue in cattle production. Many previous findings have shown a decrease in feed intake, milk yield, growth rate, and reproductive efficiency of cattle when subjected to thermal stress. Therefore, selecting thermo-tolerant animals is the primary goal of the efficiency of breeding programs to reduce those adverse impacts.

Genetic polymorphisms of the 5' untranslated regions of the gene in Indonesian cattle populations.

Background And Aim: Heat shock proteins (HSPs) are a group of proteins that play a significant role in protecting cells against cellular stress. is a conserved, sensitive, and abundant gene associated with heat stress's physiological adaptability. The objective of this study was to reveal the polymorphisms of the partial sequences of the gene (5' untranslated region [UTR]) in seven cattle populations in Indonesia.

Genetic variation in the first intron and exon of the gene in several Indonesian cattle populations.

Background And Aim: (), a member of the transforming growth factor-b family, is a negative regulator of muscle mass. This study aimed to detect the genetic variation of the 1160 bp fragment of exon 1 and part of intron 1 of the gene in several cattle populations raised in Indonesia.

Materials And Methods: Polymerase chain reaction products of the gene amplified from 92 animals representing 10 cattle populations (Peranakan Ongole [PO], Belgian Blue x PO cross, Rambon, PO x Bali cross, Jabres, Galekan, Sragen, Donggala, Madura, and Bali) were sequenced, compared, and aligned with bovine of (GenBank Acc.
