Growth hormone (GH) gene was investigated as a candidate gene for birth weight (BW) and weaning weight (WW) in apopulation of multibreed beef cattle of three crossbreds. Beef cattle involved consisted of Charolais, Brahman and Thai local native with different breed fractions. Screening polymorphisms...
