ABSTRAK Karakteristik karkas dan sifat perlemakan pada daging domba dikontrol oleh banyak gen salah satunya gen DGAT1 (Diacylglycerol Acyltransferasel 1). Penelitian ini bertujuan mengidentifikasi SNP (Single Nucleotide Polymorphism) gen DGAT1 pada titik mutasi g.8539 C>T dan asosiasinya terhadap karakteristik karkas dan sifat perlemakan pada domba Indonesia. Total sampel domba yang digunakan sebanyak 150 buah terdiri dari 35 sampel domba compass agrinak (DCA), 36 sampel domba barbados cross (DBC), 41 sampel domba komposit garut (DKG), 20 sampel domba ekor gemuk (DEG), dan 18 sampel domba ekor tipis (DET). Karakteristik karkas dan sifat perlemakan diukur dari domba jantan berumur 10-12 bulan. Identifikasi keragaman DGAT1|ALuI dianalisis dengan metode PCR-RFLP (Polymerase Chain Reaction-Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism). Hasil keragaman gen DGAT1 bersifat polimorfik dalam DET dan DEG, sedangkan DCA, DBC, dan DKG bersifat monomorfik. Dua genotipe disebut CC dan  CT ditemukan dalam DET dan DEG. Titik mutasi gen DGAT1 berasosiasi (P<0.05) dengan karakteristik karkas, yaitu bobot dan panjang karkas. Selain itu, keragaman gen DGAT1 juga berasosiasi signifikan (P<0.05) dengan asam lemak jenuh, yaitu asam stearat (C18:0) dan asam arakidat (C20:0) dan asam lemak tak jenuh tunggal, yaitu asam oleat (C18:1n9c). Gen DGAT1 memiliki kontribusi dalam karakteristik karkas dan komposisi asam lemak pada domba.Kata Kunci: domba, gen DGAT1, karakteristik karkas, PCR-RFLP, sifat perlemakan                                                              ABSTRACT            Characteristic of carcass and fatness traits of sheep is regulated by many genes such as DGAT1 (Diacylglycerol Acyltransferasel 1) gene. The research was aimed to investigate SNP (Single Nucleotide Polymorphism) of DGAT1 and its association with characteristic of carcass and fatness traits in Indonesian sheep. A total sample of sheeps used 150 rams of 10–12 months consisted 35 samples of compas agrinak sheep (CAS), 36 of barbados cross (BCS), 41 of garut composite (GCS), 20  of javanese fat tailed (JFT), and 18 of javanese thin tailed (JTT). Identification variant of DGAT1|ALuI were performed by PCR-RFLP (Polymerase Chain Reaction-Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism). The results of polymorphism of DGAT1 were found in JTT and JFT. However, SNP of DGAT1 in CAS, BCS and GCS were monomorfic. Two genotype namely CC and CT were found in JTT and JFT populations. A SNP of the DGAT1 was associated (P<0.05) with characteristic of carcass, including weight and length of carcass. The variant of DGAT1 was associated too with saturated fatty acids (SFA) including stearic acid (C18:0) and arachidic acid (C20:0), and mono unsaturated fatty acid (MUFA) including oleic acid (C18:1n9c). The DGAT1 gene was contribute to characteristic carcass and fatty acid composition in sheep.Keywords: DGAT1 gene, characteristic carcass, fatness traits, PCR-RFLP, sheep

Abstract. Buša is an old endangered autochthonous breed of the western Balkan, especially Bosnia-Herzegovina, Kosovo and Albania. A related breed is Gatačko, derived from Buša × Tirolean Grey crossbreds. Fifteen purebred Buša cattle and thirteen Gatačko animals were genotyped for polymorphisms at the kappa-casein gene by a Polymerase Chain Reaction-Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) essay. The alleles A, B and C were found and the allelic frequencies were 0.46 (A), 0.46 (B) and 0.08 (C) in Buša cattle and 0.58 (A) and 0.42 (B) in Gatačko. Only AA, AB, BB and BC genotypes occurred. Further alleles were not detected and are therefore either absent in both populations or rare. The allele »B« found in this small population will be useful for a sire selection program in the future.

Informações sobre peso à desmama de um rebanho Nelore foram utilizadas após ajuste para idade padrão de 205 dias, sexo da cria, idade da mãe, touro e mês de desmama, para separar as reprodutrizes em dois grupos, cujos filhos diferiam nesse peso. As médias ajustadas pelo método dos quadrados mínimos foram para os grupos pesado (P) e leve (L) de 163,21± 2,18kg e 134,44± 2,18kg, respectivamente, com 41 animais em cada grupo. Essas reprodutrizes foram submetidas à coleta de sangue para estudo de polimorfismos do gene da somatotropina bovina, pela técnica de PCR-RFLP (polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism). A amplificação de uma região entre o éxon III e V do gene da somatotropina permitiu analisar dois sítios de restrição. Para o sítio do éxon V, todos os animais foram identificados como monomórficos (Leu-Leu). Quanto ao sítio do íntron 3, foi possível identificar os seguintes genótipos 21 (+/-) e 60 (-/-), com as freqüências de 0,13 e 0,87 para os alelos (+) e (-), respectivamente. O peso dos filhos dos animais com o genótipo +/- foi de 152,42± 4,41kg e os -/- 147,60± 2,61kg. Os grupos P e L não diferiram entre si quanto às freqüências alélicas apresentadas. O genótipo das reprodutrizes não afetou o peso à desmama de suas crias, existindo portanto outros efeitos genéticos e não genéticos de maior magnitude.

Two hundred and fifty five biological samples were collected from 188 animals (81 sheep and 107 goats) during the lambing season from September 2009 to April 2010 from the Mafraq region of Jordan. Sampled animals belonged to 93 sheep and goat flocks that had abortion cases in the region. One hundred and seven (41.9%) biological samples were positive for theomp2primers that were able to identify allBrucellaspecies in the collected samples which were obtained from 86 aborted animals (86/188=45.7%). Using the B. melitensis insertion sequence 711 (IS711) primers on the 107omp2positive samples, only 61 confirmed to be positive forB. melitensis. These positive samples were obtained from 28 sheep and 33 goats. The prevalence rate ofB. melitensiswas 27.1% (51/188) among aborted animals. For differentiation between vaccine strain and field strain infection, polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) method usingPstI endonuclease enzyme was used. Vaccination with Rev-1 in the last year (OR=2.92, CI: 1.1–7.7) and grazing at common pasture (OR=2.78, CI: 1.05–7.36) were statistically significant (P≤.05) risk factors positively associated with the occurrence of brucellosis in sheep and goat flocks.
