“…Similar to this study, the FecB mutation has been previously found in several goat breeds, including Black Bengal (Polley et al, 2009), Markhoz (Shokrollahi and Morammazi, 2018), Beetal and Teddy goats (Islam et al, 2019). In contrast, it has not been found in some other goat breeds, including the Rayini goats of Iran (Gazooei et al, 2013), the prolific Raighar (Palai et al, 2013), the Indian Berari and Surti goat (Sharma et al, 2016;Dangar et al, 2019), and some Egypt sheep breeds (Abulyazid et al, 2011;El-Seedy et al, 2017;Saleh et al, 2020). The possible reasons for the differences between the results obtained from different breeds may be due to: (1) the accumulation of certain genotypes and alleles as a result of intensive selection, (2) the possibility of inbreeding, and (3) the possibility of previous genes introgression as a breeding strategy.…”
