Physiological and genetic characteristics of black-boned sheep (Ovis aries).

Animal genetics - 1 Dec 2006

Abstract excerpt

Here we report for the first time the discovery of sheep that have black bones and black muscles. The spectral pattern of pigment extracted from tissues of these black-boned sheep is similar to that of black-boned Chinese silky fowl. Additionally, black-boned sheep have significantly higher plasma colour, tyrosinase activity and kidney function than normal sheep. Synonymous nucleotide substitutions in the...
