Effect of ursodeoxycholic acid supplementation on growth, carcass characteristics, and meat quality of Wagyu heifers (Japanese Black cattle).
Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA), which is used as a hepatic and digestive medicine in humans and domestic animals, was added to the diet of Wagyu beef cattle to investigate its effects on growth, carcass characteristics, and meat quality. The study involved 20 Japanese Black heifers. Animals were divided into the following 2 groups, a control group and a UDCA group (diet supplemented with UDCA), wi...
متن کاملThe influence of maternal energy status during midgestation on beef offspring carcass characteristics and meat quality.
Research has suggested that maternal undernutrition may cause the development of a thrifty phenotype in the offspring, potentially resulting in greater adiposity and reduced muscle mass. These alterations in adipose and muscle development could have lasting impacts on offspring growth, carcass characteristics, and meat quality. However, limited research exists evaluating the impact of maternal ...
متن کاملUnderstanding and Improving Beef Cattle Carcass Quality
Interest and questions about the quality of beef are on the rise due to heightened awareness about the marketing of beef, from procurement and processing to consumer acceptance. Belatedly, producers are now beginning to receive information about the quality of the beef they produce. Consolidations among beef marketers have resulted in better communication between marketers and producers on carc...
متن کاملGenetic Analyses on Carcase Characters of Australian Wagyu Beef Cattle
Producers of Wagyu beef have unique opportunities to assess high value markets, where carcase value is determined primarily on marbling score. To date, there have been limited genetic studies of this breed, especially in Australia. Newly developed image analysis equipment could be a useful tool to analyse carcase characters. This study estimated genetic parameters for carcase traits measured by...
متن کاملPolymorphisms in Epigenetic and Meat Quality Related Genes in Fourteen Cattle Breeds and Association with Beef Quality and Carcass Traits
Improvement for carcass traits related to beef quality is the key concern in beef production. Recent reports found that epigenetics mediates the interaction of individuals with environment and nutrition. The present study was designed to analyze the genetic effect of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in seven epigenetic-related genes (DNMT1, DNMT3a, DNMT3b, DNMT3L, Ago1, Ago2, and HDAC5) a...
