Transcription factor 7 gene (TCF7) is located on genomic candidate region for fat traits on sheep chromosome no. 5  and it is excepted to affect fat traits. In the present study, blood samples were collected from 164 Lori-Bakhtiari sheep in Shouli breeding station  located at Shahr-e-Kord city, and 113 Zel sheep in Shirang breeding station located at Gorgan city. DNA was extracted from blood sa...

In this study external fat-tail dimensions (upper, middle and lower width, length, length of gap, depth and upper circumference) and fat-tail weights collected on 724 Lori-Bakhtiari sheep were used to study external fat-tail dimensions and their relationships with fat-tail weights. Sheep were 3 months to 6 years old and slaughtered at the industrial slaughter house of Joneghan in Chaharmohal an...

     Meat quality and carcass composition are the most important economic traits in sheep. Body fat and fat-tail are key factors affecting carcass quality and meat production in each breed, and mutations in sequences of the genes that control these traits can affect the animal performance and therefore the breeding value. The aim of this study was to investigate the polymorphism in some regions...

The aim of present study was to estimate genetic and phenotypic trends for body weight traits at some ages in Lori-Bakhtiari lambs. In this study a total of 7721 records on birth weight, 6462 records of one month weight, 7275 records of weaning weight 5745 records of 6 month weight, 3326 records of 9 month weight and 3088 records of 12 month weight of Lori-Bakhtiari sheep was used to reveal the...

  The purpose of this study was evaluation of leptin gene polymorphism by PCR-SSCP and its relationship with some growth traits in Lori Bakhtiari and crossbred of Lori Bakhtiari- Afshari sheep. Blood samples were collected from 58 sheep (male and female) of Lori-Bakhtiari in Shahr-e-Kord Sholi station and 42 sheep (male and female) of Lori Bakhtiari-Afshari crossbreed from villages of Shahr-...
