Genome-wide mapping of loci explaining variance in scrotal circumference in Nellore cattle.

Genome-wide mapping of loci explaining variance in scrotal circumference in Nellore cattle.

The reproductive performance of bulls has a high impact on the beef cattle industry. Scrotal circumference (SC) is the most recorded reproductive trait in beef herds, and is used as a major selection criterion to improve precocity and fertility.
