Genetic markers aim to breed leaner lambs in future
Washington based Agricultural Research Service geneticists report a method to predict lamb fatness using markers in AP2 and LPL genes. Research at the U S Sheep Experiment Station near Dubois Idaho with Utah State University teams ties higher AP2 and lower LPL expression to fatter lambs. A blood test at birth could identify fat-prone lambs for selective breeding and targeted feeding.
