Zhang et al. (2008) conducted an observational in Growth traits in Nanjiang Huang goats (n=592). IGF-I gene polymorphism (Genotype CC) vs. Genotypes GG and GC was evaluated on Birth weight (BW) (p=<0.0001). The CC genotype of the IGF-I gene was significantly associated with higher birth weight, body weight at 6 months, and body weight at 12 months compared to the GC and GG genotypes.
