Abstract: In order to study function of BMPR-IB on sheep ovulation control and to find the genetic marker of multi fetus sheep, bone morphogenetic protein receptor IB (BMPR-IB) gene which controled fecundity of Boorola Merino ewes was studied as a candidate gene on the prolificacy in mongolian ewes and china Merino. Single nucleotide polymorphism of BMPR-IB gene was determined in high fecundity sheep breeds (china merino) and low fecundity sheep breeds (mongolian sheep, hulunbeier sheep, Inner mongolian fine wool sheep) by PCR-RFLP. The results indicated that there was a same mutation (A746G) of BMPR-IB gene in china Merino as that in Booroola Merino ewes. The mutation did not exist in mongolian sheep, hulunbeier sheep, Inner Mongolian fine woolsheep.

Key words: Sheep, Gene polymorphism, BMPR-IB gene, PCR-RFLP
