Genome-wide analyses reveal a strong association between LEPR gene variants and body fat reserves in ewes

Abstract Background Among the adaptive capacities of animals, the management of energetic body reserves (BR) through the BR mobilization and accretion processes (BR dynamics, BRD) has become an increasingly valuable attribute for livestock sustainability, allowing animals to cope with more variable...
