Background: Litter size (LS) is a significant, challenging, and economical aspect of the goat
industry in Indonesia. It is influenced by several different factors and genes; consequently …

Goats form the backbone of rural livelihood and financial security systems in India but their
population is showing decreasing trend. Improvement of reproductive traits such as …

Simple Summary The BMPR1B gene is one of the major genes involved in controlling
prolificacy in small ruminant species. The research was conducted to detect possible …

Black Bengal goats are an interesting genetic material to underpin the genetic mechanism of
reproduction due to high prolificacy and sexual precocity. In the present study, novel SNPs …

Several genes are controlling prolificay of sheep. The bone morphogenetic protein-15 and
growth differentiation factor-9 (GDF9) are control reproductivity of sheep. This study aimed to …
