Abstract: Prolific traits are controlled by many genes such as FecB gene,FecX gene,FecXH gene and FecX2W gene. These genes or quantitative trait loci were reviewed in aspect of function,genetic pattern an effect,and gene loci in this article to provide breeding with theory and molecular techniques for law of genes controlling prolificy.

Key words: sheep; prolificacy; FecB; FecX; FecX2W
