Summary: | The behavioral trait is one of the important concerns when handling livestock. The objectives of the present study were investigated the possible role of these genes on behavioral traits in Japanese Black cattle (
).
Blood samples were collected for DNA extraction and genotyping was carried out using polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism method. Two energy metabolism related genes, namely, corticotropin-releasing hormone (
) and leptin (
) were subjected in this work. Temperaments were evaluated by scores of four behavioral tests.
Allele frequencies for the C and G alleles at
were 0.25 and 0.75, respectively. For the
SNP, the C and T alleles were 0.71 and 0.29, respectively. By analyzing the association between the polymorphisms and temperament scores of behavioral tests, significant effects of
polymorphism and interaction were not detected but cattle with wild homo-type of
tended to permit the contact of stranger when feeding (
< 0.1).
These findings suggest that the
polymorphism is involved in behavioral traits in Japanese Black cattle. The
polymorphism may be useful in selecting Japanese Black cattle with the trait of being docility. |
