Screening of <em>FecLL</em> prolific allele of the <em>B4GALNT2</em> gene in Algerian sheep populations

Background: Research on the main genes controlling prolificacy in sheep, also known as fecundity genes (Fec genes), has highlighted the mechanisms involved in ewe fertility and the genetic improvement of prolificacy.
