Abstract:The aim of this work was to identify the effect of some SNPs of the IGF-1 and LEP/ob genes, on the growth in animals of the Blanco Orejinegro creole breed (BON) and to evaluate the relationship of age at first calving (AFC) with the curve trajectory. For this, 1217 phenotypic and 439 genomic records of pure BON bovines were used. The Gompertz, Logistic, Von Bertalanffy and Brody models were evaluated. The individual growth curve parameters were estimated and the effect of SNPs of the IGF-1 and LEP/ob genes on … Show more
