Prolificacy in Raighar goats is independent of FecB gene [PDF]
Veterinary World, 2013 Aim: The Research was undertaken to find the association between FecB and high prolificacy in Raighar goats. Materials and Methods: DNA was extracted from blood, collected from does (n=101) with history of high prolificacy.

Integrated ovarian mRNA and miRNA transcriptome profiling characterizes the genetic basis of prolificacy traits in sheep (Ovis aries) [PDF]
BMC Genomics, 2018 Background The highly prolific breeds of domestic sheep (Ovis aries) are globally valuable genetic resources for sheep industry. Genetic, nutritional and other environmental factors affect prolificacy traits in sheep.

Sow Prolificacy Depending on Milking Duration
Scientific Papers Animal Science and Biotechnologies, 2023 The moment heat appears after farrowing depending on milking duration also depends on farrowing parity: the longer the milking duration, the shorter the anoestrus is.

Genetic study on BMP-15 as candidate gene of prolificacy in Ilе de France sheep breed [PDF]
Животновъдни науки, 2022 The aim of this experiment was to detect the possible polymorphism in BMP-15 gene by PCRRFLP. Sheep BMP-15 gene is located on X chromosome and it is directly related to prolificacy, ovulation rate and twining in sheep.

Effectiveness of genetic selection for prolificacy in pigs [PDF]
Bioscientifica Proceedings, 2020 This paper attempts to summarize and discuss the new evidence on the effectiveness of selection for prolificacy. In recent years selection between lines, and the adoption of formal cross-breeding programmes, have led to considerable improvements at a commercial level. Within-line selection has not been tackled seriously except in a few experiments. The

QTL mapping identifies novel major loci for ear fasciation, ear prolificacy and tillering in maize (ZEA MAYS L.) [PDF]
, 2022 Maize ear fasciation originates from excessive or abnormal proliferation of the ear meristem and usually manifests as multiple-tipped ear, ear flatness and/or disordered kernel arrangement. Ear prolificacy expresses as multiple ears per node. Both traits
