Short summary
Goat breeds in Iran are various. People use goat products for food in addition to clothing. Among goat breeds, the Markhoz (Iranian Angora) is one of the most notable in the northwest of Iran (mainly the Kurdistan region) with valuable mohair. The purpose of this study was to search for a way to genetically improve reproduction as well as fertility to increase their population. Based on the results of this research, a high-fecundity doe can be screened; hence flock parturition will improve.
