Opis

This book provides good evidence for basic information about BMPR-1B, GDF-9, and BMP-15 genes, and their mutations, especially Fec-B, FecXG, and Fec-GH, and their association with twinning rate/ litter size in sheep. Also, detection of useful mutations as a primary step before transferring them to another breed, composite, or line either by crossing or even by more sophisticated techniques should help to achieve the betters of their presence and avoid the damage that they may cause if compiled wrongly.
