DNA analysis can have great practical application in the
management and successful operation of the farm. The application of DNA
technology is becoming a tremendous challenge for farm breeding of domestic
animals. In recent years, traditional selection methods have been supplement by the
results of molecular analysis of the genome. Determining the genetic distance of
sheep and goat breeds had practical and multiple significance. Microsatellites are
used widely in the selection, and genomic selection is becoming an increasing
challenge for breeders. The development of SNP chips brings an immense
advanced for rapid and comprehensive analysis of the genome, which is of great
importance for the successful selection and Genomic selection in sheep
concentrated on all aspects of genetic and production directions. However, it
should be noted that genomic selections in sheep breeding, and especially in goat
breeding, take place at a slower pace compared to cattle breeding.
