Prolificacy and lamb survival at birth in Awassi and Assaf sheep carrying the FecB (Booroola) mutation.

Animal reproduction science - 1 Nov 2008

Gootwine Elisha, Reicher Shay, Rozov Alexander

Abstract excerpt

Prolificacy up to the fifth parity and lamb survival at birth were investigated in >or=31/32 Awassi and >or=31/32 Assaf sheep belonging to the ++, B+ and BB genotypes at the FecB locus. In the Awassi, prolificacy of ++, B+ and BB ewes was 1.28, 1.90 and 1.92 lambs born/lambing (LB/L), respectively. In the Assaf, prolificacy of ++, B+ and BB ewes was 1.68, 2.40 and 2.55LB/L, respectively. Lamb survival at birth in...
