Short summary
This study examined the relationship between genetic differences in the growth hormone gene and growth and placental characteristics in Tuj sheep. Those with a particular gene polymorphism revealed superior growth post-birth and a more efficient placental structure. These results imply that genetic testing could be used to identify animals with greater growth potential at an early stage, thus facilitating more effective and sustainable breeding decisions.
