Short summary
The LEP gene has been extensively studied in cattle, but research on goats is limited, often overlooking vital parameters like reproduction and growth. We investigate the relationship between LEP gene polymorphisms and growth or reproductive traits in Saanen goats. Notably, the LEP-Sau3AI SNP exhibited associations with birth weight and average daily weight gain. This pioneering study is the first to explore these traits alongside selected LEP variants in Saanen goats.
