Impact of Adding Chitosan and Probiotic to Broiler Dietary on carcass traits [PDF]

مجلة جامعة كركوك للعلوم الزراعية, 2023
This study aims to examine the impact of adding chitosan and probiotics to the diets of broilers oon the carcass characteristics of broilers. A total of 144 broiler chicks from Ross 308 were used in this study. They were of average weight (43 g).

Genome-wide Association Study for Carcass Primal Cut Yields Using Single-step Bayesian Approach in Hanwoo Cattle

Frontiers in Genetics, 2021
The importance of meat and carcass quality is growing in beef cattle production to meet both producer and consumer demands. Primal cut yields, which reflect the body compositions of carcass, could determine the carcass grade and, consequently, command ...

Genomic Approaches Reveal Pleiotropic Effects in Crossbred Beef Cattle

Frontiers in Genetics, 2021
Carcass and meat quality are two important attributes for the beef industry because they drive profitability and consumer demand. These traits are of even greater importance in crossbred cattle used in subtropical and tropical regions for their superior ...

Genome-Wide Association Studies Revealed Significant QTLs and Candidate Genes Associated with Backfat and Loin Muscle Area in Pigs Using Imputation-Based Whole Genome Sequencing Data

Animals, 2022
Improvement of carcass features is an essential goal in pig genetic breeding programs. Backfat (BF) and loin muscle area (LMA) are important carcass production metrics and useful indicators of pig production performance and lean meat rate.

Effects of vertebral number variations on carcass traits and genotyping of Vertnin candidate gene in Kazakh sheep [PDF]

Asian-Australasian Journal of Animal Sciences, 2017
Objective The vertebral number is associated with body length and carcass traits, which represents an economically important trait in farm animals. The variation of vertebral number has been observed in a few mammalian species.

Genome-wide association analyses of carcass traits using copy number variants and raw intensity values of single nucleotide polymorphisms in cattle

BMC Genomics, 2021
Background The carcass value of cattle is a function of carcass weight and quality. Given the economic importance of carcass merit to producers, it is routinely included in beef breeding objectives.

Exploring the size of reference population for expected accuracy of genomic prediction using simulated and real data in Japanese Black cattle

BMC Genomics, 2021
Background Size of reference population is a crucial factor affecting the accuracy of prediction of the genomic estimated breeding value (GEBV). There are few studies in beef cattle that have compared accuracies achieved using real data to that achieved ...

Non-synonymous FGD3 Variant as Positional Candidate for Disproportional Tall Stature Accounting for a Carcass Weight QTL (CW-3) and Skeletal Dysplasia in Japanese Black Cattle. [PDF]

PLoS Genetics, 2015
Recessive skeletal dysplasia, characterized by joint- and/or hip bone-enlargement, was mapped within the critical region for a major quantitative trait locus (QTL) influencing carcass weight; previously named CW-3 in Japanese Black cattle.
