Genome scan for meat quality traits in Nelore beef cattle.
Meat quality traits are economically important because they affect consumers' acceptance, which, in turn, influences the demand for beef. However, selection to improve meat quality is limited by the small numbers of animals on which meat tenderness can be evaluated due to the cost of performing shear force analysis and the resultant damage to the carcass. Genome wide-association studies for War...
متن کاملEvaluation of Temperament and Transportation Stress on Body Composition Traits and Meat Quality in Beef Cattle
Stressors can be psychological (restraint, handling, or novelty) or physical (hunger, thirst, fatigue, injury, or thermal extremes) (Grandin, 1997). Temperament has been associated with stress responsiveness in which higher concentrations of cortisol have been correlated with temperament of cattle (Curley et al., 2006; King et al., 2006). In addition, Smith and Grandin (1999) reported that appr...

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...
متن کاملEffect of endophyte type on carcass traits, meat quality, and fatty acid composition of beef cattle grazing tall fescue.
Fourteen Hereford steers were used to compare carcass traits, meat quality, and fatty acid composition of beef from cattle grazing tall fescue infected with either wild-type (E+; n = 6) or novel, nil ergot alkaloid (AR542; n = 8) endophyte for 209 d. Average daily gain, live weight, and HCW were greater (P < 0.05) for AR542 cattle than for E+. No differences in LM color or pH were observed betw...
