	abstract = {Ovulation rate records from female progeny of 3 Booroola-type rams and the daughters of 8 to 10 male progeny of the same rams were recorded in commercial flocks. When a segregation criterion of at least 1 record of ovulation rate >/-3 was used to identify carriers of the putative gene, the results support the hypothesis of genetic segregation for fecundity in Booroola sheep. A comparison of the genotype ascertained from progeny tests with that estimated from the parental genotypes showed that 21 of 22 rams{\textquoteright} performance was consistent with a single gene effect.},
