Association of a mutation inactivating the myostatin gene with growth, testicular morphology and sperm quality traits measured in Marchigiana young bulls in performance test

Among the Italian autochthonous beef cattle breeds, Marchigiana is particularly important in terms of census and production. In this breed, a SNP inactivating the myostatin gene leads to muscular hypertrophy in the individuals homozygous for the mutated allele while heterozygous individuals have an...
