RELATIONSHIP OF LHX3 GENE POLYMORPHISM TO FERTILITY RATE IN LOCAL AND SHAMI GOATS

The study was conducted at the ruminant research station of general commission for agricultural research/Ministry Agriculture, as well laboratory genetic resources department livestock/Ministry Agriculture and college agriculture engineering science, with aim determine genotypic expression region (intron 2 part exon 3) LHX3 gene And its relationship to fertility rate in local Shami goats. For this purpose, RFLP technique used, percentages genotypes goat sample were 29.17, 50.00, 20.83 TT, AT, AA genotypes, respectively, while goats, 44.00, 56.00 0.00 it found that there a significant effect multiple on It important reproductive trait goats is trait, which affected by several aspects, including environmental administrative influences, I lot mutations, As percentage twins reaches 42% according breed, through selection assisted markers (MAS). values equivalent fecundity are approximately 0.02 - 0.15.
