Evaluation of melatonin receptor 1a as a candidate gene influencing reproduction in an autumn-lambing sheep flock.

Journal of animal science - 1 Apr 2003

Notter D R, Cockett N E, Hadfield T S

Abstract excerpt

The effect of the melatonin receptor 1a (MTNR1A) gene on fertility and litter size in autumn lambing was studied with 373 ewes from a population of sheep selected for 10 yr for fertility in May and June matings. Animals were from a composite line of 50% Dorset, 25% Rambouillet, and 25% Finnsheep. Two restriction fragment length polymorphisms were present in the population, with allelic frequencies of 0.42 and...
