NOVEL ASSOCIATION BETWEEN GnRHR GENE AND GROWTH TRAITS IN AWASSI AND KARAKUL SHEEP

Abstract: This study was conducted to investigate the association of the Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone Receptor (GnRHR) gene with growth traits in Awassi (n= 123) and Karakul (n= 78) sheep. Starting from the birth-day to 12 months of age, several growth traits were investigated, namely body weight and length, wither and rump height, chest, and abdominal circumferences. Four fragments were designed to amplify three exons of GnRHR gene, P1 and P2 for exon 1, P3 for exon 2, and P4 for exon 3.  The polymorphisms in these a… Show more

“…Table . (4) also indicated a highly significant positive correlation (P<0.01) of lamb's weight at birth with lamb's weight at weaning (0.580), and weight of lambs at weaning with lamb's weight at six months of age (0.841). The results of the present study are in agreement with [41], in Harnali sheep as well as with [42]. Positive and high correlations between growth characteristics and dam weight at different stages indicate that this type of correlation can be used in early selection programs for lambs to improve lamb's weight and productive performance…”
