Comparison of IL-2 gene sequence of all four breeds with other goat breeds showed high similarity in sequence. Phylogenetic analysis of our local breeds with other mammals showed that IL-2 was highly variable. This high substitution rate could be due to changed selective pressure. These rapid changes may also lead to the changes in the fun...

The Bb genotype was linked to higher body weight and average daily gain during weeks 4 to 16 compared to the bb genotype (P<0.01). This suggests an influence of the genotype on these traits. Additionally, NPY polymorphism affected body length (BL), with Bb genotype (21.10 cm) showed significantly higher BL values compared to t...

This study analyzed the polymorphisms of five Vietnamese duck breeds, namely Na Tau (VNT), Dom (VD), Co (VC), Co Lung (VCL), and Troi (VT) by the mtDNA D-loop region to have more genetic information to aid in the conservation and maintenance of these breeds. Fifteen mutation sites were detected in the sequence analyses and formed 17 haplotypes. A low genetic diversity of Vietnamese indigenous ducks was found with an average haplotype and nucleotide variants o...
