Economic Evaluation of Recording Meat Quality Traits from Pedigreed Animals
نویسنده
چکیده
Before introducing a recording system for meat quality traits, the returns of this recording and the costs involved to obtain various measurements have to be compared. Some traits might be of high economic value, but on the other hand recording of these traits is also very costly. Recording of traits with low economical importance might be beneficial because of the low costs involved in obtaining the information.

The data entered into KIDPLAN, the national goat performance recording program in Australia was summarised. The summary includes the number of active breeding animals added since the development of the program, the number of records recorded per trait in 2013 with the average phenotype and variance and, the average EBV and accuracy for various traits since the programs’ development. The number ...

Little scientific information is available that has evaluated safflower (Carthamus tinctorius) cake as a substitute to conventional ingredients in small ruminants diet. The objective of this work was to evaluate the effect of feeding safflower cake in total mixed rations (TMRs) on lamb and kid growth rates, carcass traits and meat fatty acid composition. Two consecutive trials were conducted us...

The results of statistical analysis appeared inconclusive as to which allele of the GPI locus could significantly affect the traits of meat quality, but higher meat pH45 values have been observed in animals with the GPIB/B genotype in both the Duroc and Pietrain breed. For meat pH24, the GPI A/B genotype appeared to be more favourable, although not significantly. Beneficial effect on the meat c...

متن کاملGenetic and phenotypic parameters for carcass and meat quality traits in commercial crossbred pigs.
Pork quality and carcass characteristics are now being integrated into swine breeding objectives because of their economic value. Understanding the genetic basis for these traits is necessary for this to be accomplished. The objective of this study was to estimate phenotypic and genetic parameters for carcass and meat quality traits in 2 Canadian swine populations. Data from a genomic selection...
