Abstract: This study analyses the goat SRY sequence by direct sequencing procedure, followed by the designation of the PCR primers specific for goat SRY. By using PCR amplification of the goat SRY gene, the embryo sex was determined. The results of the embryo sex identifications were further confirmed after the embryo transplantations and pregnancies.
