Screening of Candidate SNPs Potentially Associated with Multi-Parity Litter Size and Litter Weight in Hu Sheep [PDF]

Animals
Multi-parity records improve ewe evaluation but require long-term follow-up. This study compared litter size, litter weight, and lambing type across four parities in 256 Hu sheep and 90 Tan sheep and evaluated six candidate SNPs in Hu sheep.
