Background: Genotyping offers a promising avenue for identifying the healthy reproductive system in cows. The healthy reproductive system in cows is determined by measuring the level of ovulation and by identifying the type polymorphism of specific genes. Aim: The aim of the article is to explore how polymorphism of Follicle Stimulating Hormone Receptor (FSHR) and Luteinizing Hormone/Choriogonadotropin Receptor (LHCGR) genes affect the reproduction trait of Holstein cows. Methods: Here we define a reproducible protocol to genotype and identify the polymorphism in specific genes from the extracted DNA of cows. Results: The results of genotyping showed that the only C allele (CC genotype) was observed in 100% of cows at the LHCGR locus, and three genotypes were observed at the FSHR locus (CC – 67.74%, CG - 9.03%, GG – 23.22%). In cows with the CC genotype at the FSHR locus, the hormone concentration during ovulation was 1.1 – 2.5 ng/ml, which is within the physiological range for healthy reproduction. Conclusion: Cows with the CC genotype at the FSHR locus have a healthy course of the ovulation process, therefore good reproduction.
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.
