Major genes affecting ovulation rate in sheep.

Genetics, selection, evolution : GSE - 1 Jan 2005

Davis George Henry

Abstract excerpt

Research conducted since 1980 in relation to inheritance patterns and DNA testing of major genes for prolificacy has shown that major genes have the potential to significantly increase the reproductive performance of sheep flocks throughout the world. Mutations that increase ovulation rate have been discovered in the BMPR-1B, BMP15 and GDF9 genes, and others are known to exist from the expressed inheritance...
