Abstract: The association between genes and characters of livestock and poultry was widely studied. DNA and RNA with coding effect have important effects on traits. In addition, miRNA in non-coding RNA can have a specific effect on livestock and poultry traits by affecting the translation of mRNA. The research of miRNA in fat metabolism of livestock and poultry was summarized, in order to provide reference for further research on the description and functions of miRNA in fat tissue of livestock and poultry.

Key words: miRNA, fat deposition, livestock and poultry, breeding
