Short summary
In this study, we investigated the effect of the sheep FecB gene on reproductive and productive performance by molecular biology techniques. Our results showed that the most dominant genotypes associated with lambing performance were AA and CT, with the dominant haplotype combination being AACT. In terms of body performance, the dominant genotypes were AA and CC, with the dominant haplotype combination being AACC.
