This study explores the key embryonic development genes in high fertility goat breeds, identifying major genes and their regulatory mechanisms. We conducted a comparative genomic analysis of selected breeds to assess genetic diversity and its correlation with fertility rates. Additionally, we examined gene expression patterns and the effects of environmental factors, such as nutrition and housing conditions, on gene activity. A case study of a specific high fertility goat breed provided insights into relevant genes and their implications for breeding strategies. The findings highlight the potential for enhancing fertility through genetic selection and integration of these insights into breeding programs, ultimately benefiting livestock production. Future research directions include exploring additional embryonic development genes and expanding studies to other livestock species.
