    TLDR Two genetic variations in Moa buffalo help them adapt to heat.
    This study investigated genetic polymorphisms in the 3'-UTR of the HSP70 gene in Moa buffalo, focusing on their role in heat adaptation. Researchers analyzed 65 hair follicle samples (55 Moa buffalo and 10 Banten buffalo) and identified two significant SNPs: g.1904C>A and g.1910A>G. These findings are crucial for developing genetic markers to understand heat adaptation mechanisms and improve livestock performance in tropical environments.
