Carcass Quality
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»

Identification of single nucleotide polymorphisms of the signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 gene (STAT3) associated with body measurement and carcass quality traits in beef cattle
Authors: N. Song, L.S. Gui, H.C. Xu, S. Wu and L.S. Zan
Previous studies have shown that the signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 gene (STAT3) is involved in lipid storage and energy metabolism, suggesting that STAT3 is a potential candidate gene that affects body measurement and carcass quality traits in animals. Therefore, the aim of this study was to identify polymorphisms in bovine STAT3 and .. Read More»

Single nucleotide polymorphisms associated with carcass traits in a population of Brahman and Brahman-influenced steers
Authors: A.M. Royer, C. Shivers, D.G. Riley, M.A. Elzo and M.D. Garcia
Brahman cattle are important in tropical regions due to their ability to tolerate excessive heat and parasites. However, Brahman cattle exhibit lower carcass quality characteristics when compared to Bos taurus breeds. The objective of this study was to evaluate potential associations between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SN.. Read More»

Prediction model of a joint analysis of beef growth and carcass quality traits
Authors: H.R. Mirzaei, A.P. Verbyla and W.S. Pitchford
A joint growth-carcass analysis was conducted to develop equations for predicting carcass quality traits associated with variation in growth path of crossbred cattle. During a four-year period (1994-1997) of the Australian “Southern Crossbreeding Project”, mature Hereford cows (r = 581) were mated to 97 sires of Je.. Read More»
