Some Genetic Manifestations of the SCD1 Gene and its Relationship to some Productive and Reproductive Characteristics of Iraqi Local Goats

Abstract

This study was conducted with the aim of identifying some manifestations genetic parameters of the SCD gene and its relationship to some productive characteristics of local goats, studying the components of milk from protein, fat, lactose and non-protein mineral elements, estimating the live weight of mothers, newborn weight, weaning weight, milk season length and nocturnal repetition, the effect of live weight was significant (P<0.05) in all genetic manifestations as well as the length of the milk season is significant (P<0.05) in most genetic manifestations and the percentage of fat in the components of milk was also significant (P<0.05), other productive qualities and milk ingredients had no significant effect.
