Abstract

Along with classical breeding methods, the use of DNA genoty** and the selection of animals of desirable genotypes is promising for improving milk productivity and quality characteristics of sheep milk.Genetic variation of the candidate genes that affect the economic characters inspires the research interest.The study aims at identifying the effect of beta-lactoglobulin (β-LG) gene polymorphism on the Lacaune sheep milk components. PCR-RLFP method was applied to identify the gene polymorphism. The obtained results demonstrated the prevalence of allele B (0.66) in comparison with allele A (0.34). The genotype occurrence frequency was 11.0% for β-LGAA, 49.0% for β-LGBB and 50.0% for β-LGAB. Statistical analysis showed that there is a link between beta-lactoglobulin polymorphism and the milk composition. Ewes with genotype β-LGAB had the heaviest milk production (277.10 kg). Genotype β-LGBB was related to a higher content of protein (6.17%) and fat (7.10%). The conclusion is that beta-lactoglobulin polymorphism can be used as a genetic marker for the milk component feature selection in sheep breeding programmes.
