Abstract

Marathwadi buffaloes are found in Marathwada region of Central India and are primarily reared by marginal farmers and landless laborers for its modest milk production. In buffaloes, inadequate reproduction is a limiting factor for rapid genetic development. FSH and LH receptors are transmembrane receptors that are required for hormonal activity during reproduction. Similarly, ERa playes a critical role in the development of anatomical, functional, and behavioural qualities required for species reproduction. Present study was carried out to investigate polymorphism in 100 Marathwadi buffaloes for certain locus of FSHR (exon 10), LHR (exon 11) and ERa (exon 1) gene. Three loci of each gene fragments were studied to demonstrate that three out of nine loci studied were polymorphic and others were monomorphic.
