A review on prolificacy genes in sheep.

Reproduction in domestic animals = Zuchthygiene - 1 Oct 2016

Abstract excerpt

Ovulation rate and litter size are important reproduction traits in sheep and are of high economic value. Reproduction traits typically have low to medium heritabilities and do not exhibit a noticeable response to phenotypic selection. Therefore, inclusion of genetic information of the genes associated with reproductive ability could efficiently enhance the selection response. The most important major genes...
