Abstract excerpt

This work investigated effects of carrying 0, 1, or 2 copies of the A allele resulting from the g+6723G-A transition in growth differentiation factor gene (GDF8) in New Zealand Texel-cross sheep at different lamb ages and carcass weights. Two Texel-cross sires carrying 1 copy of the A allele were...
