¹ Akdeniz Üniversitesi Ziraat Fakültesi Zootekni Bölümü, 07070 Antalya - Major genes increase ovulation rate and litter size in some sheep breeds. Alleles of these major genes affecting ovulation rate in sheep are the result of a mutations. Primary mutations that increase ovulation rate in sheep were located on Bone Morphogenetic Protein Receptor IB/BMPR-IB (FecB), Bone Morphogenetic Protein 15/BMP-15 (FecX^B, FecX^G, FecX^H, FecX^L, FecX^R, FecX^I) and Growth Differentiation Factor 9/GDF-9 genes. In this study, the presence of FecB, FecX^G and FecX^H allele were investigated in Kangal and Güney Karaman sheeps reared in Turkey. In order to determine these allele in Kangal (n=42) and Güney Karaman (n=29) sheeps, a totall 71 samples were analyzed by using PCR-RFLP method. As a result of examined in totally 71 samples FecB, FecX^H and FecX^G allele were not determined. Keywords : BMPR-IB, BMP 15, prolificacy, sheep
