The BMPRIB gene is one of the main genes that can be used as a molecular genetic marker
for the early selection of highly productive ewes. It is well-documented that the p. Q249R (g …

The incidence of mutation in three loci of GDF9, BMP15 and BMP15-1B and their effects on
litter sizes was evaluated in Baluchi sheep. Wild-type alleles were detected for BMP15 and …

The single nucleotide polymorphism of BMPR-IB gene (bone morphogenetic protein
receptor type IB) was analyzed using PCR-RFLP in Iranian native Kalehkoohi sheep. BMPR …

High environmental temperature is a major constraint in sheep production under semi-arid
tropical environment. Behavior is the earliest indicator of animal's adaptation and responses …

The polymorphism of mutation Q249R in BMPR-IB gene (FecB) and loci FecXI, FecXH,
FecXG, FecXB in BMP15 gene was analyzed by forced PCR-RFLP method in 550 …

The present study evaluated the effect of dietary supplementation with n-3 polyunsaturated
fatty acids (PUFA) on preovulatory follicle (POF) turnover, prolificacy, and endocrine and …

Prolificacy up to the fifth parity and lamb survival at birth were investigated in≥ 31/32 Awassi
and≥ 31/32 Assaf sheep belonging to the++, B+ and BB genotypes at the FecB locus. In the …

Feed scarcity during hot summer months is one of the major predisposing factors for low
reproductive efficiency of livestock reared in hot semiarid environment. A study was …

Thermal stress in hot semi-arid environment is a major limitation of sheep production in
tropical and sub-tropical climatic condition. The animals tend to maintain homeostasis …

This study reports the status of the Booroola (FecB) and Galway (FecXG) mutations in Indian
sheep breeds. The Kendrapada sheep (n= 46) was genotyped for the presence of FecB and …
