Growth Rate and Muscle Bone Ratio in Cattle
نویسندگان
چکیده
The effect of growing Angus steers from 300 to 440 kg along three different growth paths on muscle-bone ratio is described. The growth rates studied were:High (H):-0.8 kg/day; Low (L):-0.4 kg/day and High-Maintenance (HM):-0.8 kg/day followed by a period during which liveweight was maintained constant. Muscle-bone ratio (MBR) was determined by complete dissection of one side of the carcass of each animal.

Genetic improvement in feed efficiency in beef cattle
Net feed conversion efficiency (NFCE) describes whether an animal eats more or less feed than expected for its size and growth rate. Early results from the Trangie NFCE Project, and from the Beef CRC, show that considerable variation in NFCE exists within each of the British breeds tested and is moderately heritable. Estimates of heritability for average daily gain, 365-day weight, feed intake,...

A 50-day feeding trial was conducted to evaluate the effects of yeast nucleotide in diets on growth performance, serum immune indices and muscle composition of Ancherythroculter nigrocauda (mean initial body weight, 23.30±0.59 g). Seven isonitrogenous (approximately 42.76% crude protein) and isoenergetic (17.43 KJ g−1 gross energy) experimental diets with varying levels of yeast nucleotide (0[c...

Use of Adipose Stem Cells (ADSCs), obtained easily in a relatively less invasive manner (abdominoplasty) and characterized by flow cytometry, is a classical approach in stem cell research and clinical aspects. Other techniques such as isolation of the cells from bone marrow aspirates (1) are rather more invasive. Further, it is pertinent to point out that growth rate, differentiatio...
