Booroola gene is one of the major genes in the enhancement of ovulation rate and could be an attractive candidate gene for ovulation rate in sheep. Molecular technologies have been widely used for discovery of mutations in animal species. These mutations have major effects on the important economic traits of sheep and goats. This study was conducted to identify the mutation in FecXG region of e...

Tick-borne hemoparasites (TBHs) are a group of pathogens of concern in animal management because they are associated with a diversity of hosts, including both wild and domestic species.

Here, we compared the TBHs of wild Grant's gazelle (Nanger granti) and domestic sheep (O...
