“…This role has been shown to be evolutionarily conserved in vertebrates (Andersone et al, 2016). Allele and genotype distribution of MC4R gene have been described by many researchers in monogastric and polygastric animal such as in chicken (Yan et al, 2013), pig (Piorkoswka et al, 2010Davoli et al, 2012;Zhang et al, 2017), sheep (Song et al, 2014;Wang et al, 2015), cattle (Huang et al, 2010;Liu et al, 2010;Maharani et al, 2018) and buffalo (Deng et al, 2016).…”
