Association between molecular markers linked to the Leptin gene and weight gain in postpartum beef cows Associação entre marcadores moleculares ligados ao gene da Leptina e ganho de peso em vacas de corte no pós-parto

Three short tandem repeats (STRs), BMS1074, BM1500, IDVGA-51, and three single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), LEPSau3AI (A/B), LEPSau3AI (+/-) and LEPKpn2I linked to the LEP gene were investigated to verify associations with productive performance in postpartum cows of two beef cattle breeds, Aber...
