| Summary: | Animal geneticists’ unvarying endeavor to maximize profit from livestock can be achieved by improving the
genetic potential using appropriate selection methods. Genetic selection is an important tool for gaining maximum benefit
from livestock. The improved reproductive efficiency and increased fertility rate of animal will ultimately pave the way
for economic benefit of farmers. However, improvement of reproductive traits through selection is usually difficult to
accomplish due to low heritability of traits. Therefore, immense efforts are being made to search some of major genes that
would influence fecundity of animal. In this present context we focus on various SNPs of prolific genes associated with
prolificacy in goat. |
