Polymorphism of MC4R gene associated with feed intake, nutrient digestibility, ADG and FCR at post-weaning in Bligon goats

The melanocortin-4 receptor (MC4R) gene plays an important role in sympathetic nerve activity, as well as adrenal and thyroid function and mediates the effects of leptin on energy homeostasis. This study aimed to investigate the effect of the 642 bpMC4R gene on feed intake, nutrient digestibility, a...
