SNP Genotyping Characterizes the Genome Composition of the New Baisary Fat-Tailed Sheep Breed.

Lamb meat has become increasingly popular in several nations during the last few decades, especially in Kazakhstan. Due to the rising demand for lamb meat, our sheep breeders developed a new fat-tailed sheep and named the breed Baisary. Animals of the Baisary breed are characterized by a large physique, strong constitution, stretched body, deep and wide chest, medium or large-sized fat tail, long legs (height at the withers of adult rams 85-100 cm, sheep 75-90 cm), long lanceolate ears and strong hooves.
