Association of single-nucleotide polymorphism of melanocortin-4 receptor with carcass traits in commercial rabbits under tropical conditions
MC4R polymorphism at position 519 is significantly associated with key carcass traits in commercial rabbits under tropical conditions. The GG genotype is linked to improved carcass yield, particularly in CP2 traits, although effects vary by breed. Incorporating this SNP into MAS programs can enhance meat production efficiency and carcass quality in tropical rabbit breeding.
