Short summary
Finding polymorphisms of genes can provide potential molecular genetic markers for sheep reproduction. This study investigated the polymorphisms of three major reproductive genes (BMPR1B, BMP15 and GDF9) in Chinese sheep and found that BMPR1B and GDF9 might be the major genes influencing the reproductive performance of Chinese sheep breeds. This result might contribute to improving the prolificacy traits of native Chinese sheep in the future.
