Is there a relationship between prion protein genotype and ovulation rate and litter size in sheep?

Animal reproduction science - 1 Sept 2007

Sweeney T, Hanrahan J P, O'Doherty E

Abstract excerpt

The identification of an association between polymorphisms of the prion protein (PrP) gene and susceptibility to scrapie has enabled the development of breeding programmes to increase natural resistance to scrapie. It is, however, imperative to identify if such selection would affect important reproduction and production traits. The objective of this study was to determine if there is a relationship between...
