- Abstract
This study aimed to identify the DNA variants located in one of IGF1 gene region and to investigate the association between those variants with body conformation traits in Madura bulls. There were 58 Madura bulls used for this study and chest width; chest girth; body length; body height; hip width and hip height were measured. The DNA sample obtained from the bulls were amplified and sequenced. The result indicated that an identified variant located in the 5’ upstream of IGF1 gene had effect on body height and hip height of Madura bulls. Since body conformation is one of phenotypic traits that generally used by the farmers to select for their cattle, this result suggested that this variant might be a candidate marker that could assist the selection based on molecular information for body conformation traits. However, another study with larger population needs to be conducted first.
