Carcass Composition
Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms associated with growth and carcass traits located on QTL Regions previously associated with Bovine Respiratory Disease
Authors: S. Mizell, S.L. Miller, A.M. Royer, K.J. Thornton, and M.D. Garcia
The objective of the current study was to evaluate single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) for potential growth and carcass trait associations located in two previously described quantitative trait loci (QTL) regions associated with bovine respiratory disease. A population of 323 crossbred steers sired by five purebred sire bree.. Read More»

Investigation of TG gene variants and their effects on growth, carcass composition, and meat quality traits in Chinese steers
Authors: Investigation of TG gene variants and their effects on growth, carcass composition, and meat quality traits in Chinese steers
Thyroid hormones play an important role in regulating metabolism and can affect metabolism-related traits such as fat deposition. The thyroglobulin (TG) gene produces the precursor of thyroid hormones and has been proposed as a candidate gene for a quantitative trait locus with an effect on fat deposition. In this study, we identified 4 novel single nucle.. Read More»

Carcass composition and meat quality of indigenous Yanan pigs of China
Authors: Y.-Z. Jiang, L. Zhu, F.-Q. Li and X.-W. Li
The Yanan (YN) pig is a traditional Chinese indigenous breed that is raised in southwest China in the Sichuan Province, but there is little data on the germplasm characteristics of this breed. To evaluate carcass characteristics and meat quality of the YN pig, we compared carcass and meat quality of YN pigs and Landrace ×.. Read More»
