Abstract

This study was aimed to elucidate the genetic polymorphism of the LEPR gene and its correlation with reproduction and production traits in Haryana cattle. For that genomic DNA was harvested from WBCs of 62 Haryana cows. The LEPR/BseGI assay showed two alleles C and T with 0.52 and 0.48 allelic frequency and three genotypes CT, CC, and TT with 87.09, 8.06 and 4.83 per cent genotypic frequency, respectively in the studied Haryana population. The LEPR/BseGI genotypes showed significant association with GP in the second lactation and with LP, TMY, and MY300 in the first lactation in Haryana cattle. In conclusion, LEPR/BseGI assay revealed genetic polymorphism in Indian Haryana cattle showing significant association with reproduction (GP) and milk production (LP, TMY and MY300) traits. This signifies that this SNP in the LEPR gene may be one among many markers for the selection of cattle with better milk yield. Nevertheless, more studies are needed to do in another breed and population of Indian cattle for authenticating the association of LEPR/BseGI assay with other production and reproduction traits.
