Multiple association analysis of loci and candidate genes that regulate body size at three growth stages in Simmental beef cattle

Abstract Background Body size traits as one of the main breeding selection criteria was widely used to monitor cattle growth and to evaluate the selection response. In this study, body size was defined as body height (BH), body length (BL), hip height (HH), heart size (HS), abdominal size (AS), and...
