Under a climate change perspective, the genetic make-up of local livestock breeds showing adaptive traits should be explored and preserved as priority. We used genotype data from ovine 50 k Illumina BeadChip for assessing breed autozygosity based on runs homozygosity (ROH) fine-scale structure detecting genomic regions under selection in 63 Tunisian sheep samples. The average inbreeding coeffic...

Abstrak. Domba ekor tipis merupakan salah satu domba dari sekian banyak jenis yang dibudidayakan di Indonesia.

Tujuan Pelaksanaan penelitian ini ialah mengetahui sejauh mana pertambahan berat b...

Objective The presence of different missense mutations in sheep breeds have shown that the bone morphogenetic protein receptor 1B (BMPR1B), bone morphogenetic protein 15 (BMP15) and growth differentiation factor 9 (GDF9) genes play a vital role in ovulation rate and prolificacy in ewes. Therefore, the present study investigates BMPR1B, BMP15 and GDF9 genes mutations in prolific ewes of Iranian ...

negative energy balance in pregnant ewes during last two month of gestation could result in fatal pregnancy toxemia and affects ewe and lamb health. the understanding of variations of energy related metabolites during this critical period may cast light upon to a better management of the situation. this study describes the variations of serum energy related biochemical metabolites at a period o...
