Aim: The somatotropic axis (SA) comprises genes associated with economically important quantitative traits in livestock like mammary and muscle growth as well as carcass traits. Insulin growth factor-1 (IGF-1) and its receptor (IGF-1R) are two important genes belonging to the SA....
Background and Aim: Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are important for the recognition of pathogen-associated molecular patterns. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within TLRs have a potential impact on the alteration of susceptibility or resistance to inflammatory diseases. This...
