Effects of Genetic and Non-genetic Factors on Body Weight and Carcass Related Traits in Two Strains of Japanese Quails [PDF]
Poultry Science Journal, 2017 The current study was conducted to investigate the effects of genetic and non-genetic factors on body weight and carcass traits of Japanese quails. Two strains of Japanese quail (150 wild quails and 150 white quails) were used as base population.

Carcass and meat quality traits in Brangus steers
Translational Animal Science, 2023 Abstract The quality grade system used in the United States to identify carcasses with superior eating satisfaction to consumers is based on the amount of marbling within the ribeye and the maturity of the carcass. However, the most important quality attribute for consumers is tenderness.

Prediction of Carcass Composition Using Carcass Grading Traits in Hanwoo Steers [PDF]
Asian-Australasian Journal of Animal Sciences, 2015 The prediction of carcass composition in Hanwoo steers is very important for value-based marketing, and the improvement of prediction accuracy and precision can be achieved through the analyses of independent variables using a prediction equation with a sufficient dataset.

Genetic and phenotypic correlations between performance traits with meat quality and carcass characteristics in commercial crossbred pigs. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Genetic correlations between performance traits with meat quality and carcass traits were estimated on 6,408 commercial crossbred pigs with performance traits recorded in production systems with 2,100 of them having meat quality and carcass measurements.

Genomic Prediction Accuracies for Growth and Carcass Traits in a Brangus Heifer Population
Animals, 2023 The predictive abilities and accuracies of genomic best linear unbiased prediction (GBLUP) and the Bayesian (BayesA, BayesB, BayesC and Lasso) genomic selection (GS) methods for economically important growth (birth, weaning, and yearling weights) and ...

Strategies to improve genomic predictions for 35 duck carcass traits in an F2 population
Journal of Animal Science and Biotechnology, 2023 Background Carcass traits are crucial for broiler ducks, but carcass traits can only be measured postmortem. Genomic selection (GS) is an effective approach in animal breeding to improve selection and reduce costs.
