Abstract excerpt

The aim of this study was to determine whether the FecB gene influenced some aspects of fetal development in sheep. Carrier (BB/B+) and non-carrier (++) female fetuses were recovered at specific times of gestation, namely, days 40, 55, 75, 90, 95 and 135. The results showed that the FecB gene influenced litter size, body weight and ovarian development during fetal life. The mean litter sizes were larger (P <...
