“…Genetic analysis of the temperament evaluation proves its genetic connection and correlation with other productive features, especially in young animals (Garza-Brenner et al 2020). According to (Riley et al 2016;Costilla et al 2020) the heredity of the temperament is moderate within h 2 = 0.30-0.35.…”

The present study examined the temperament of 699 cows of the Aberdeen Angus cattle breed, reared in 14 farms in Bulgaria. It was carried out within the period 2017–2020. The animals subject to the study were between two and eight years old. The temperament was visually evaluated following a scoring system from 1 to 5. The assessment method involved the behavioural reaction of the cows upon manipulation, passing through a chute and fixation into a cattle crush. The temperament of cows reared in two different systems – intensive and semi-intensive farming was compared. The temperament of the Aberdeen Angus cows had an average rate of 2.74 ± 0.04. The cows which had frequent contact with people had a calmer temperament. The manner of rearing (P < 0.001) as well as the age group (P < 0.001) had a significant influence on the parameter examined. The young animals were calmer and got accustomed to working in a crush more easily when they were reared together with cows of different ages.

“…Garza-Brenner et al (5) selected a group of 19 genes that participate in the dopamine and serotonin pathway, and through a protein-protein interaction (PPI) analysis, they identified four new interacting candidate genes (POMC, NPY, SLC18A2, and FOSFBJ), of which POMC, SLC18A2 and DRD3, HTR2A (selected based on their function) revealed SNPs associated with Exit Velocity (EV) and Pen Score (PS), which are measurements of bovine temperament in a population of Charolais cattle. The same group found that the variations in these genes (DRD3, HTR2A, and POMC) had an effect on bovine growth (birth weight) in a population of Charolais cattle, showing that the identified variations not only had an effect on bovine temperament but also on live weight traits (6) . Similarly, with the objective of evaluating the potential relationship of two of these SNPs in the DRD3 and HTR2A genes with bovine temperament and growth characteristics, and feed efficiency, a population of Angus, Brangus, and Charolais cattle with temperament assessments was analysed; the results indicated that there was no association with EV and PS, but the SNP in the HTR2A gene was associated with feed efficiency in Brangus cattle (7) .…”

The objective of this study was to identify in Angus and Brangus breed animals with extreme temperament, measured as exit velocity, genomic regions and candidate genes associated with bovine temperament. The population was genotyped with the Genomic Profiler HD 150K chip and after the genome-wide association analysis, the SNPs rs133956611 (P=2.65 E-06) and rs81144933 (P=9.58 E-06) were associated with temperament. The mapping analysis of the regions close to the SNP rs81144933 identified the SNCA (alpha-synuclein) and MMRN1 (multimerin-1) genes at 222.8 and 435.9 Kb downstream respectively, while for the rs133956611 loci the gene GPRIN3 (GPRIN family-member-3) was identified at 245.7 Kb upstream, all three genes are located on the BTA6 chromosome. The analysis of SNCA protein-protein interactions allowed the identification of the genes APP (β-amyloid precursor protein), PARK7 (parkinsonism-associated-deglycase), UCHL1 (ubiquitin-C-terminal-hydrolase-L1), PARK2 (parkin-RBR- E3-ubiquitin-protein-ligase), and genes of the SLC family as candidates to be associated with bovine temperament. All these candidate genes and their interacting were resequenced, which allowed the discovery of new SNPs in the SNCA and APP genes. Of these, the SNPs located in introns 5, 8 and 11 of the APP gene affect splicing site motifs. These results indicate that SNCA and its interacting genes are candidates to be related to bovine temperament.
