In animal husbandry, feed efficiency is a crucial economic trait. In this study, the general linear model was used to perform association analysis for various genotypes and feed conversion ratio (FCR)-related traits. Reverse transcription-quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) was used to detect the expression of and mRNA levels in 10 tissues from 6 sheep. The results showed that SNPs in the NC_040257.1:c.625 T > C and NC_040261.1:g.9905 T > C were analyzed whether they were associated to feed efficiency parameters in Hu sheep (body weight, feed intake, average daily growth, and feed conversion ratio). NC_040257.1:c.625 T > C was shown to be significantly associated with body weight at 80, 100, and 120 days as well as feed conversion ratio ( < 0.05), whereas NC_040261.1:g.9905 T > C was found to be significantly associated with average daily weight gain from 80-140 days (ADG80-140) and FCR ( < 0.05). In Hu sheep, the CC genotypes of SHISA3 and RFC3 were the most common genotypes related to feed efficiency traits. Furthermore, the feed conversion ratio of the combined genotypes TT -CC , TT -CT , TT -TT , CT -CC and CT -CT was significantly better than the FCR of CC -TT . RT-qPCR results showed that the expression levels of were lower in the lung than in spleen, kidney, muscle and lymph ( < 0.05), and RFC3 was the lung had a highly significant higher expression level than the heart, liver, spleen, and muscle ( < 0.01). In conclusion, and polymorphisms can be used as genetic markers for improving feed conversion efficiency in Hu sheep.
在畜牧业中,饲料效率是一个关键的经济性状。在本研究中,使用一般线性模型对各种基因型与饲料转化率(FCR)相关性状进行关联分析。采用逆转录定量PCR(RT-qPCR)检测6只绵羊10个组织中SHISA3和RFC3 mRNA水平的表达。结果表明,分析了NC_040257.1:c.625 T>C和NC_040261.1:g.9905 T>C中的单核苷酸多态性(SNPs)是否与湖羊的饲料效率参数(体重、采食量、平均日增重和饲料转化率)相关。结果显示,NC_040257.1:c.625 T>C与80、100和120日龄的体重以及饲料转化率显著相关(P<0.05),而NC_040261.1:g.9905 T>C与80 - 140天的平均日增重(ADG80 - 140)和FCR显著相关(P<0.05)。在湖羊中,SHISA3和RFC3的CC基因型是与饲料效率性状相关的最常见基因型。此外,组合基因型TT - CC、TT - CT、TT - TT、CT - CC和CT - CT的饲料转化率显著优于CC - TT的FCR。RT-qPCR结果显示,SHISA3在肺中的表达水平低于脾脏、肾脏、肌肉和淋巴结(P<0.05),而RFC3在肺中的表达水平显著高于心脏、肝脏、脾脏和肌肉(P<0.01)。总之,SHISA3和RFC3多态性可作为提高湖羊饲料转化效率的遗传标记。
