Genetic background of coat colour in sheep

Abstract: Abstract. The coat colour of animals is an extremely important trait that affects their behaviour and is decisive for survival in the natural environment. In farm animal breeding, as a result of the selection of a certain coat colour type, animals are characterized by a much greater variety of coat types. This makes them an appropriate model in research in this field. A very important aspect of the coat colour types of farm animals is distinguishing between breeds and varieties based on this trait.

“…Animal coat colour is one of the most important economic traits, particularly for animal breeds that are kept for skin and wool production. Coat colour is a highly useful trait that affects the behaviour of animals and is an essential trait for survival (to cope with the environment and biological factors) in different environmental conditions [ 1 3 ]. Moreover, animal coat colour has played a crucial role in breed identification, characterization [ 4 ] and other applications, such as fibre production in goat, rabbit and sheep breeds [ 5 ].…”

“…No se detectaron diferencias para la frecuencia de color de la lana entre ambas cuencas (p = 0.6420). El color del pelaje de los animales en general y de la lana ovina en particular, es un rasgo extremadamente importante que afecta el comportamiento animal y es determinante para sobrevivir en el medio natural (Koseniuk et al, 2018), en este sentido se observa como una característica favorable la presencia de colores variados de lana en ambas Cuencas, además que la lana de colores es muy valorada para el diseño y confección de prendas de vestir y otros productos artesanales de la región. Este hecho ocurre en distintas regiones de Latinoamérica, debido a que se trata de un producto en creciente valoración por el mercado de confección de productos artesanales y como tal, exhibe importantes precios en regiones turísticas como Los Lagos o Los Ríos, porque en estas regiones se produce una proporción de lana pigmentada superior a la que se produce en otras zonas de Chile (De la Barra et al 2018).…”
