The study was conducted on a sample of 34 local goats in a private field of a breeder in Canaan sub-district / Diyala governorate. Laboratory work was conducted in the laboratory of the College of Agriculture - University of Diyala and the Office of Scientific Advancement - Al-Harithiya – Baghdad- Iraq for the period from 13/11/2021 to 1/5/ 2022 with aim of studying the genetic polymprphism of the untranslated region (5-UTR) of the IGF-1 gene and its relationship to milk traits (daily milk production - DMY and total milk production - TMY) and growth traits (birth weight -BWT, weaning weight -WWT and weight gain pre-weaning-WG). The results of the study showed a highly significant (P < 0.01) between the genotypes, as two genotypes of 5-UTR were observed, namely, GG and AG, with frequency distribution ratios of 91% and 9%, respectively, while the frequency of the G allele was more) 94%) compared frequency A allele (6%) in the studied sample.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
