Abstract

The paper presents the results of candidate genes search for live weight is southern meat sheep breed. The sample of 48 ewes weighed in the age of 24 months and elder was genotyped on Ovine SNP 50 Genotyping BeadChip array. Using a fixation in dices method (Fst), wedetected 55 polymorphisms associated with live weight. 10 SNP swith the highest Fst value were selected to check the effect on the trait under investigation. All the candidate genes showed the association witht helive weight trait. It’s interesting to not ethatin the NDFIP1 gene there were detected two significant SNPs with a high Fst value.
