Abstract

The realignment of the production profile to respond to demanding market signals is one of the most important challenges that an animal breeders face today. Animal fibre being a significant contributor to the agricultural economy needs special attention. This is especially true for sheep and goats where fibre production can account for as much as 20% of the total gross income. It is therefore necessary to gain a better insight into the genes governing wool traits. Gene mapping studies have identified some chromosomal regions influencing fibre quality and production. These may help in the selection of animals producing better quality wool. These are more efficient and accurate than the conventional techniques. This paper critically reviews various genes governing fibre growth in animals and their importance. Fibre quality and production genes may provide novel insights into our understanding of the science ofgenetics and breeding. The discovery of new fibre-related genes and their functions may also help in future studies related to fibre development and in the development of new and advanced techniques for the improvement of fibre production and quality.

影响动物纤维生产的重要基因综述

重新调整生产状况以响应苛刻的市场信号是当今动物育种者面临的最重要挑战之一。动物纤维是农业经济的重要贡献者，需要特别注意。对于绵羊和山羊来说尤其如此，它们的纤维产量可占总毛收入的20%。因此，有必要更好地了解控制羊毛性状的基因。基因定位研究已经确定了一些影响纤维质量和产量的染色体区域。这可能有助于选择生产优质羊毛的动物。这些技术比传统技术更有效、更准确。本文综述了控制动物纤维生长的各种基因及其重要性。纤维质量和生产基因可能为我们对遗传学和育种科学的理解提供新的见解。新的纤维相关基因及其功能的发现也可能有助于未来有关纤维发育的研究和开发新的先进技术，以提高纤维的产量和质量。

期刊介绍： Articles published in The Indian Journal of Animal Sciences encompass a broad range of research topics in animal health and production related to cattle, buffalo, sheep, goat, camel, equines, pig, rabbit, yak, mithun, poultry and fisheries. Studies involving wildlife species and laboratory animal species that address fundamental questions about their biology will also be considered for publication. All manuscripts must present some new development and must be original, timely, significant and scientifically excellent. Papers will be rejected if standards of care of, or procedures performed on animals are not up to those expected of humane veterinary scientists. At a minimum, standards must meet the International Guiding Principles for Biomedical Research involving Animals, as issued by the Council for International Organizations of Medical Sciences. (C.I.O.M.S., c/o WHO, CH 1211 Geneva 27, Switzerland). Articles reporting new animal disease must follow GOI directive as given in detail in Guidelines to Authors.
