Targeting Myostatin for Sustainable Meat Production: Insights From Multiple Species
Animal Genetics, Volume 57, Issue 3, June 2026.ABSTRACT Myostatin gene (MSTN), a TGF‐β superfamily member, negatively regulates skeletal muscle growth, positioning it as a prime genetic target for enhancing livestock meat production. This review synthesizes evidence from 1979 to 2025 on MSTN mutations across cattle, pigs, poultry, sheep, goats, and rabbits, emphasising impacts on yield, quality ...

Food Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 3, May 2026.This graphical abstract summarizes the comprehensive framework of mutton quality, including evaluation indices, influencing factors, and improvement strategies. Meat quality is systematically assessed through multiple dimensions, including flavor, color, pH, tenderness, water‐holding capacity, intramuscular fat, and nutritional composition.

The traits of backfat thickness and kidney fat in BH and BL.
, 2015 The three traits are backfat thickness of live animals (a), backfat thickness of carcass (b) and weight of kidney fat (c). BH and BL are pigs with higher/lower thickness backfat of live using B-Ultrasound respectively.

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 25, Issue 3, May 2026.ABSTRACT Reducing saturated fat while preserving the sensory quality of full‐fat foods remains a major formulation challenge because fat contributes simultaneously to body, lubrication, flavor delivery, and thermal transitions. Carbohydrate–protein (CP) hydrogels are increasingly explored as oil‐free fat replacers, but many systems are developed and ...

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, Volume 143, Issue 3, Page 443-456, May 2026.ABSTRACT The ability of ruminants to mobilise and restore body reserves (BR) over time, referred to as BR dynamics, is currently considered an interesting biological component to be included in breeding programs targeting enhanced BR resilience. However, genetic studies of proxies for BR levels and BRD remain scarce, particularly in small ruminants ...

Association analysis of interleukin-18 gene with performance traits in Czech Large White pigs
Acta Universitatis Agriculturae et Silviculturae Mendelianae Brunensis, 2012 This research focused on recently described MspI and VspI SNPs in interleukin-18 gene and their association with selected performance traits (backfat thickness; lean meat content, average daily gain from birth, average daily gain in test, breeding value ...
