Abstract: The FecXL mutation of BMP15 gene was detected in both high fecundity breeds (Jining Grey, Boer and Wendeng Dairy goats) and low fecundity breeds (Inner Mongolia Cashmere, Angora and Liaoning Cashmere goats) by PCR-SSCP. The results indicated that none of the six goat breeds carried the same FecX-L mutation (C53Y) of the BMP15 gene as Lacaune sheep. So, the FecX-L mutation of BMP15 gene that had significant effect on fecundity of Lacaune sheep had no significant effect on prolificacy of Jining Grey goats. 
