Summary

[edit]
Description
English: SCIENTIFIC NAME - Ovis aries

The Garole is a prolific breed of sheep. High prolificacy in sheep carrying the Booroola gene (FecB) is the result of a mutation in bone morphogenetic protein receptor-IB (BMPR-IB) which had previously been identified in Garole sheep from the Sunderban region of West Bengal (Davis et al., 2002) . There is evidence that the breed has originated from the sheep brought by the Tibetan traders and traded in the plains of Bengal during the seventeenth till the nineteenth century.

Unique among Indian sheep breeds „- Adult female weight 12-15 kg „ - Average litter size 1.8

„ - Adapted to humid, swampy ‘delta’ conditions
