- Abstract
The article presents a study examining the role of leptin in reproductive characteristics of commercial beef cows and heifers. Topics discussed include challenges associated with selection for better reproductive performance as it is a time-consuming process; role of Leptin (LEP/Sau3AI) and leptin receptor (LEPR/T945M) in milk production traits, calving interval (CI), and age at first calving (AgeFC); and LEP single nucleotide polymorphism markers in Holstein heifers and cows.
