ABSTRACT
The polymorphisms of DGAT2 gene in 92 Jiaxian red cattle were analyzed using PCR-RFLP method. Results showed that the PCR products digested with TaqI demonstrated polymorphisms, and showed two kinds of genotype AA and AB. This polymorphic locus of DGAT2 gene was at Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (P>0.05). The results of general linear model analysis showed that polymorphisms of DGAT2 gene had significant association (Plt;0.05) with body weight and body length, while had no significant association with others growth traits (P>0.05). Therefore, genotype AB may have positive effect on body weight.
