Abstract excerpt

While the myostatin (MSTN) gene is responsible for the double-muscled phenotype in cattle and has been associated with alterations in metabolism and energy homeostasis. its potential effects on sperm function and fertility remain poorly understood. This study evaluated whether the MSTN genotype affects post-thaw sperm cryotolerance and its relationship with field fertility in Asturiana de los Valles bulls....
