Mechanisms of action of the principal prolific genes and their application to sheep production.

Reproduction, fertility, and development - 1 Jan 2004

Souza C J H, González-Bulnes A, Campbell B K, McNeilly A S, Baird D T

Abstract excerpt

The prolificacy variation in sheep makes it an excellent animal model to understand the mechanisms regulating ovulation rate. Identification of mutations responsible for the increased prolificacy of the Inverdale, Booroola, Javanese, Cambridge and Belclare sheep open new avenues of investigation...
