Effects of the FecL major gene in the Lacaune meat sheep population.

Genetics, selection, evolution : GSE - 12 Aug 2014

Martin Pauline, Raoul Jérome, Bodin Loys

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The major prolificacy gene FecL was first described in the Lacaune sheep meat breed Ovi-Test in 1998. A few studies estimated the effect of this gene on prolificacy but little data is available. In 2010, the Ovi-Test cooperative started genotyping FecL in all of their replacement ewe...
