| 中文描述 | 當卡拉庫爾種灰色綿羊被交配有四分之一羔羊是灰的,和三分之一灰羔羊會死於四到九個月齡之間.死掉的羔羊被相信是同型合子的灰色種;他們可從其他灰色綿羊分辨出來藉由他們白色的舌頭.罕見的案例同型合子會生存到繁殖的年齡.肝臟,心臟,腎臟和脾臟的受感染的羔羊是小隻的;瘤胃大約兩倍正常大小並且小腸變大再壞死時是空的. |
| 英文描述 | When grey sheep of the Karakul breed are mated 1/4 of the lambs are grey and 1/3 of the grey lambs die between 4 and 9 months of age. The lambs that die are believed to be homozygous grey; they are distinguishable from other grey sheep by their white tongues. In rare instances homozygotes can survive to breeding age. The liver, heart, kidneys and spleen of affected lambs are small; the rumen is about twice normal size and the large intestines are empty at necropsy. |
