Pregnancy toxemia is a nutritional metabolic disease during late gestation in small
ruminants. The condition is characterized by disorders in carbohydrate and fat metabolism …

Objective The aim of this work was to investigate three different mutations; Fec-B, FecX G,
Fec-G H at three candidate genes; Bone morphogenetic protein receptor IB, Bone …

The phenotypic characteristics of animals are result of the complex interaction of a number
of genetic and non-genetic factors, which usually act simultaneously and it is difficult to …

In livestock, selection programs utilizing quantitative genetics are time consuming due to
long generation interval and sometimes of lowly heritable traits. Several genes to be used in …

Ovulation rate and litter size, varies between breeds or individulas who belong to the same
breed, are evaluated as fertility traits. Fertility traits are important for economic values in …

The growth performance of lambs attributes to the economic viability of animals. Faster
growth allows lambs to reach maturity at an early age. Therefore, the aim of this study was to …

本研究以吐鲁番黑羊卵泡期和黄体期显著差异表达的绵羊微小RNA150 (Ovis aries …

The FecG or GDF9 (Growth Differentiation Factor 9) and FecX or BMP15 (Bone
Morphogenetic Protein 15) are two important genes that affecting to reproductive traits …

Reproductive traits relatively have low or medium heritability and do not exhibit a
remarkable response to phenotypic selection. Therefore, the inclusion of genetic information …

The purpose of this study was to determine the presence or absence of mutations in BMP-15
and GDF9 fecundity genes. In this experiment 60 ewes from Northeast Bulgarian Merino …
