Abstrakt: The article presents a study related to on increasing litter size in a sheep breed by marker-assisted selection of bone morphogenetic protein receptor-1B (BMPR1B) A746G mutation. The findings include B allele capable of being introduced into offspring by crossbreeds using Han sheep as maternal parent, and in promoting litter size, increase in B allele frequency in hybrid sheep with the promotion of Han sheep bloodline, and no significant difference between close-breed sheep and backcross (BC).
