Table S1. Gene frequency, Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (HWE), expected heterozygosities (he), and gene differentiation estimated for GNRHR-SNP5, GNRHR-SNP6, LHR-I499L and IGF1-SnaBI alleles identified by pyrosequencing analysis within each herd and in the whole sample. Table S2. Average estimated puberty age and weigh estimated at 300 days (W 300), with their standard errors (SE) calculated for each herd and year. Results for the two criterions for age of puberty are: i) estimated at Scrotal Circumference (SC) = 28 cm, ii) estimated at Sperm Motility (M) = 10% and Sperm Concentration (C) = 50 million. Table S3. Summary information of genotyped SNPs for gonadotropin-releasing hormone receptor (GNRHR). luteinizing hormone receptor (LHR) and insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF1) genes. Table S4. Primer sequences and annealing temperatures used for SNP genotyping by pyrosequencing assays.
