Ovine Spider Lamb Syndrome

Spider lamb syndrome is a heritable congenital abnormality caused by a recessive gene that produces a range of skeletal deformities in lambs. A lamb is only afflicted if both parents pass on the caust

A DNA test is available to identify the sheep's genotype and its resistance or susceptibility to scrapie. Make informed breeding decisions to remove susceptible animals from the flock.

Myostatin (Ovine)

Myostatin, which is also known as growth and differentiation factor 8 (GDF8), variation in the myostatin gene (MSTN) has been associated with variation in double muscling in Sheep.
