Marker-assisted introgression of myostatin from Texel to Raml?ç sheep: Growth and real-time ultrasound carcass traits in F1 and BC1 lambs

The aim of the study was to evaluate live weights, body measurements, and real-time ultrasound carcass traits F1 BC1 genotypes in a marker assisted introgression (MAI) process. Effects some factors on weight measurements including ultrasonographic assessments Musculus longissimus dorsi (MLD) were investigated at (n=51) (n=99) cross lambs born 2015 – 2017 period. Variance analysis showed that genotype had significant (P < 0.001) effect pre- post-weaning growth characteristics. birth type 0.05) traits. Live weights twelve months age higher heavier lambs. performance between Texel Raml?ç. Myostatin heterozygous been potentially than non-carriers pure Texel.
