Genome-wide association study provides strong evidence of genes affecting the reproductive performance of Nellore beef cows.
Reproductive traits are economically important for beef cattle production; however, these traits are still a bottleneck in indicine cattle since these animals typically reach puberty at older ages when compared to taurine breeds. In addition, reproductive traits are complex phenotypes, i.e., they ar...
