Abstract excerpt

Sheep's fecundity is determined by both twinning rate and litter size, both influenced by several genes, one of which is the OLR1 (oxidized low-density lipoprotein receptor) gene. This study aimed to determine the genetic variation of the OLR1 gene affecting the fecundity traits of Awassi ewes. The genomic DNA from 114 ewes with a single progeny and 86 ewes with twins was extracted. Polymerase chain reaction...
