Abstract excerpt

Litter size, which is a complex economic trait in sheep, is affected by polygenes. Hu sheep are a prolific native breed in China and also an ideal resource for studying the genetic mechanism that controls litter size in sheep. In this study, we investigated the genetic effects of candidate genes on litter size in a large experimental population (n = 2021) of Hu sheep. A total of 23 single nucleotide polymorphisms...
