Abstracts

The clinical effects of twenty different chromosome anomalies in sheep are reviewed. It is concluded that not all anomalies give rise to reproductive problems or phenotypic variations. In particular, the centric fusion translocations appear not to have affected fertility and they have been helpful in determining the karyotype of the sheep.
