Abstract
Growth hormone (GH) is a major regulator of postnatal growth and metabolism in mammals and plays a critical role in growth, production and fertility in cattle. The present study was conducted in dairy cattle to find the association of g.48769565 C>T mutation with growth, production and reproduction traits in Sahiwal and Hardhenu cattle. PCR-RFLP was performed to genotype g.48769565 C>T mutation using the MspI restriction enzyme in our resource cattle population. In Hardhenu cattle, the frequencies of C and T alleles were 0.59 and 0.41 respectively while genotypic frequencies were 0.06, 0.36 and 0.58 for CC,CT and TT respectively. The frequencies of the C and T allele were 0.24 and 0.76 respectively in Sahiwal cattle and it was observed that highest frequency was forTT genotype (0.58) and lowest for CC genotype (0.06). Chi-square analysis showed that g.48769565C>T SNP loci did not meet with the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (p< 0.01) in Sahiwal cattle. From the least-squares analysis, it was observed that CC genotype was significantly associated with total Milk Yield (TMY), 300 days milk yield (300D MY), lactation length (LL), Dry period (DP) and Artificial insemination (AI)/conception (p<0.05). We also observed a significant association (p<0.05) of genotype CT with 3-month calves body weight. Cows with TT genotype revealed comparatively revealed favourable service period (SP) and calving interval (CI) in both Hardhenu and Sahiwal. These observed differences in their allelic and genotypic frequencies in association with the traitsunderlying production and fertility can be utilized for genetic improvement in dairy cattle.

Abstract
Ladakhi, the native cattle from Ladakh region of India have developed over the years under natural selection and can survive well at extreme climatic conditions, viz. high altitude, huge barren lands, low temperature (≤–20°C) and hypoxic conditions. Even at extreme survival conditions, this cattle provides around 2–5 kg of milk. This highly evolved germplasm might possess unique alleles or combinations of alleles, hence attempt was made to study the frequency of allelic variants at important candidate gene loci affecting dairy traits. The observed distribution pattern of allele frequencies were different from taurine but in accordance with other Indian native cattle breeds indicating maintenance of indicine characteristics and near absence of taurine influence/introgression effect on this naturally evolved germplasm. Further, variant E at κ-CN locus and two novel variants at BTN-3 loci were also observed. The present findings helped to understand the unique Ladakhi cattle population with respect to polymorphism and distribution of various alleles in candidate genes related to milk traits.

Abstract
GH has important role in milk production and their polymorphisms may alter quality and quantity of gene's products and affects the phenotype. This study was designed to find the polymorphisms on GH-Msp1 loci and to find its association with milk production traits in Sahiwal cattle. Msp1 polymorphism of the bGH gene was identified in a population of Sahiwal cows. PCR-RFLP genotyping of 329 bp fragment of GH in exon 3 revealed three different allelic variants. The T allele was the major allele in Sahiwal cattle. The TT genotype Sahiwal cows yielded more FL305DMY, FLTMY and also had higher FLL than that of CT and CC genotypes cows. Results of the present findings reveal that TT allele of GH locus should be the favoured genotype in Sahiwal cattle breed and can be used in marker-assisted selection programmes.

Abstract
The decline in the male reproductive ability in terms of sexual behavior and seminal traits might lead to nonavailability of required number of bulls in a progeny testing program. The present study was conducted in 493 crossbred cattle (Bos taurus × Bos indicus) bulls to study polymorphisms of growth hormone (GH) gene and its association with seminal and sexual behavioral characteristics. A 428-base pair fragment of GH gene spanning over the fourth exon, fourth intron, and fifth exon was amplified and digested with AluI restriction enzyme. Bulls were found to be polymorphic, with two variants, LL and LV, and higher genotypic frequency for LL being 0.88. Twelve nucleotide changes and a single nonsynonymous substitution of Leucine by Valine were observed from GH1 (L) to GH2 (V). Statistical analysis revealed that the genotype of the GH gene had a significant effect on libido score, reaction time, Flehmen response, requirement of mounting stimulus, sperm mass activity, number of semen doses per collection, individual fresh sperm motility, postthaw sperm motility, acrosome integrity, hypo-osmotic swelling test, live and dead count, total morphological abnormality, and head abnormality of sperm in crossbred bulls. Growth hormone gene might be considered a candidate gene for seminal and sexual behavioral traits in crossbred cattle.

Abstract
The MspI allelic variation in intron III of the bovine growth hormone (bGH) gene was explored using PCR-RFLP in 750 animals belonging to 17 well-recognized breeds of Indian zebu cattle (Bos indicus) reared in different geographic locations of the country. Restriction digestion analysis of a 329-bp PCR fragment of the bGH intron III region with MspI restriction enzyme revealed two alleles (MspI- and MspI+) and two genotypes (-/- and +/-) across the 17 cattle breeds studied. The allelic frequency varied from 0.67 to 0.94 for MspI (-) and from 0.06 to 0.33 for MspI (+) across the 17 breeds, with a combined average frequency of 0.87 and 0.13, respectively. No animal with +/+ genotype was detected across the samples analyzed. The chi-square test showed that the difference in MspI allelic frequency was not significant (p > 0.05), regardless of the geographic origin, coat color, or utility of the cattle breed. The high MspI (-) allele frequencies obtained for Indian zebu cattle in this study are in sharp contrast to those reported for taurine breeds from northern Europe, Mediterranean countries, and America. Findings of this study further substantiate the hypothesis that the MspI (-) allele has an Indian origin.

Abstract
Associations were analysed between polymorphisms of the growth hormone gene (GH-MspI) (localized in intron 3) and milk production traits of Beijing Holstein cows (a total of 543 cows). Polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) method was used for identification of various genotypes. Frequencies of genotypes were 0.77, 0.21 and 0.02 for A/A, A/B and B/B, respectively. The frequency of the GH A allele is 0.875. The results of the least squares means show that in all three lactations, the GH A/A cows yielded more milk (P less than 0.01 for lactation I and P less than 0.05 for lactations II and III), whereas A/B cows showed higher milk fat content than A/A individuals (P less than 0.05 for lactations I and II, and P less than 0.01 for lactation III). The A/A cows yielded more fat than A/B individuals (P less than 0.01 only in lactation I). The A/A cows yielded more milk protein than A/B individuals (P less than 0.01 for lactations I, II, and III). The A/A cows produced milk of higher protein content than of A/B individuals (P less than 0.05 only in lactation II).
