Carcase weight and dressing percentage are increased using Australian Sheep Breeding Values for increased weight and muscling and reduced fat depth.
Pre-slaughter live weight, dressing percentage, and hot standard carcase weight (HCWT) from the 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010 birth-years of the Information Nucleus Flock Lambs (n=7325) were analysed using linear mixed effects models. Increasing the sire breeding value for post-weaning weight (PWWT), and c-site eye muscle depth (PEMD), and reducing the sire breeding value for fat depth (PFAT) all h...
متن کاملPolymorphism of DGAT1 Gene and Its Relationship with Carcass Weight and Dressing Percentage in Moghani Sheep Breed
The diacylglycerol acyltransferase 1 gene (DGAT1) was identified as a strong candidate gene affecting mutton quality traits in sheep. Single nucleotide polymorphism creates a single base mutation (C to T) in AGCT site of endonuclease AluI. DGAT1 is one of the candidate genes to improve carcass characteristics in feedlot animals. In order to study area T487C in exon 17 of the DGAT1 polymorphism,...
متن کاملGenetic parameters for docility, weaning weight, yearling weight, and intramuscular fat percentage in Hereford cattle.
Cattle behavior, including measures of docility, is important to beef cattle producers not only from a human safety perspective but also due to potential correlations to economically relevant traits. Field data from the American Hereford Association was used to estimate genetic parameters for chute score (CS; = 25,037), weaning weight (WW; = 24,908), yearling weight (YW; = 23,978), and intramus...
متن کاملThe impact of carcase estimated breeding values on yield and quality of sheep meat
The aims of this study were to investigate the impact of carcase estimated breeding values on carcase size and lean meat yield of lambs and to determine whether nutrition alters these responses. Selection for high estimated breeding values for growth increased carcase size by as much as 4 kg in lambs fed a high plane of nutrition. On a low plane of nutrition, this effect was reduced by 60%, hig...
