Short summary
It was detected that Texel and myostatin-carrying BC1 lambs were significantly higher than Pırlak and non-carrying BC1 lambs in the MLD area at weaning. Myostatin-carrying BC1 lambs had a superiority to Pırlak lambs in terms of muscle conformation and fatness of the hind leg. Myostatin-carrying BC1 lambs were found to be better than Pırlak in growth performance. It was concluded that the Pırlak lambs may be improved by introgression of myostatin mutation.
