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 lambs. Thanks to the large amount of genotyping data that is available now, gene effects on litter size and other...
