Evidence That an Imprinted Gene on the X Chromosome Increases Ovulation Rate in Sheep

1 Jan 2001

Abstract excerpt

Ovulation rate records from 1311 female progeny of 50 Coopworth rams were used to study the inheritance of ovulation rate in a screened high prolificacy sheep flock. Breeding values (BV) for ovulation rate for 33 sires used within the screened flock and ovulation rate deviations for a further 17 sires progeny tested in commercial flocks suggest that a major gene (WOODLANDS: gene) for ovulation rate with a...
