Abstract excerpt
Goat farming in Bangladesh is primarily centred on indigenous Black Bengal goat, a highly prolific breed. Searching for genetic markers associated with prolificacy in this breed is vital for the country's goat breeding industry. However, there are no reports on polymorphisms associated with the fertility of Bangladeshi Black Bengal goats. This study investigated two major fecundity genes-bone morphogenetic...
