“…The results of leptin gene expression in the current study (Figure 3) confirm the hormonal ones which obtained by Veena et al (2018) they reported that there was a positive relationship between serum leptin concentration and advanced age in Bannur female sheep and the average serum leptin ranged from 1.36 to 2.35 (ng/mL). Also, Nieto et al (2013) they reported that circulating concentrations of leptin increased from 1.31 6 0.02 to 1.78 6 0.01 ng/ml (P<0.01) with advance age and leptin concentrations differed with ewe breed (P<0.05).…”

“…The growth rate of lambs is an important production trait and it reflects the economic viability of animals, which has a great role in a sheep production process. It is primarily influenced by a complex system such as genetics, immune responses, physiological status, and endocrine factors, in addition to other non-genetic factors (Grochowska et al, 2017, Singh et al, 2018Veena et al, 2018).…”

The growth performance of lambs attributes the economic viability of animals. Faster growth allows lambs to reach maturity in early age. Therefore, the aim of this study was to compare growth performance, blood metabolites and expression of IGF-1, GH, and Leptin genes in three different Egyptian sheep breeds across age. Thirty Egyptian sheep males from three breeds (Ossimi, Rahmani and Barki) were divided into three ages categorize (7-9, 10-12, and 13-16 months). The results showed that there was a significant increase in sheep's live body weights toward advanced ages till the second age category for all breeds, the highest values of linear body measurements were observed in Ossimi breed. There was a non-significant inverse effect of advanced age on blood glucose and total lipids levels in all sheep breeds. There wasn't any significant effect of interaction between age and breed on plasma total protein concentrations. According to age categories, Barki breed showed a significant up-regulation of GH compared to the Ossimi breed in 7-9 months age category. However, Barki breed showed a significant downregulation of IGF-1compared to the Ossimi breed in 7-9 months. Meanwhile, Leptin expression showed significant differences in Ossimi breed between 10-12 months age category and two other age categories. We concluded that measuring of physical body measurements, blood metabolites and GH, IGF-1 and Leptin genes in early ages is a good and accurate indicator for growth performance in Egyptian sheep breeds.
