Abstract

This study was conducted to evaluate the polymorphisms in the intron 2 of leptin (LEP) gene (g.1926C>T) and in the 5’UTR of thyroglobulin (TG) gene (g.422C>T) in Senepol × lai Brahman crossbred cows raised in Thua Thien Hue province. The results of evaluating LEP and TG gene polymorphisms on 30 DNA samples with the PCR-RFLP technique show that the LEP/Sau3AI gene is polymorphic in the Senepol × lai Brahman crossbred cows, with the A allele related to high production and reproduction traits as the dominant allele (0.92). Five over 30 cows carried allele B related to high-fat yield percentage, and all were raised in Dien Mon commune. In contrast, all 30 studied cows carried heterozygous TG/PsuI genotype (CT). More DNA samples should be analysed to confirm the polymorphism of the TG5/PsuI gene in this crossbred cattle in Thua Thien Hue province, and further selection is needed to increase the frequency of the T allele related to a high marbling score of beef. These results are informative for further breeding of Senepol × lai Brahman crossbred cows.
