USDA yield grades and various carcass traits as predictors of carcass composition

Meat Science, 1985
Twenty-five carcasses from each of three breedtypes (Brahman, Angus and Brahman × Angus) were physically separated into fat, lean and bone. Several muscles from the round and the femur were used to derive equations to predict carcass composition and muscle-to-bone ratio. The femur (as a percentage of the carcass) was shown to predict percentage carcass

Principal components for the in vivo and carcass conformations of Anglo-Nubian crossbred goats

Ciência Rural, 2018
: This study aimed to identify the principal components (PC) that explain the highest percentages of total variance and best characterize the in vivo and carcass morphologies of Anglo-Nubian crossbred goats.

Prediction of carcass composition of lambs by joint dissection and carcass traits

TURKISH JOURNAL OF VETERINARY AND ANIMAL SCIENCES, 2020
The aim of the study was to test the possibility of using carcass measurements and joint tissue composition to predict the half-carcass tissue composition of lambs more accurately. With this purpose in mind, 6 different carcass joints (neck, flank, shoulder, ribs, hind limb, and tail) from 42 Kıvırcık male lambs were dissected.

Genome scan for postmortem carcass traits in Nellore cattle [PDF]

Journal of Animal Science, 2016
Abstract Carcass traits measured after slaughter are economically relevant traits in beef cattle. In general, the slaughter house payment system is based on HCW. Ribeye area (REA) is associated with the amount of the meat in the carcass, and a minimum of backfat thickness (BFT) is necessary to protect the carcass during cooling.

The Association Between Genomic Heterozygosity and Carcass Merit in Cattle

Frontiers in Genetics, 2022
The objective of the present study was to quantify the association between both pedigree and genome-based measures of global heterozygosity and carcass traits, and to identify single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) exhibiting non-additive associations ...

Estimation of genetic parameters and genome-wide association study for carcass traits in native chickens [PDF]

Animal Bioscience
Objective Global consumption for chicken meat is steadily increasing. Carcass traits (e.g., slaughter weight [SW], eviscerated weight [EW]) are important economic traits for the meat production in chickens.

Effect of DNA markers on the fertility traits of Japanese Black cattle for improving beef quantity and quality [PDF]

Archives Animal Breeding, 2020
Carcass traits have been efficiently improved by recent selection using DNA markers in beef cattle. Additionally, DNA markers might have an effect on other traits such as fertility traits; therefore attention should also be paid to such pleiotropic ...

The Effects of Slaughter Age on Carcass Traits

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences, 1997
The aim of this study was to determine the slaughter age on the dressing percentage, carcass weight and carcass composition. Ross PM, hybrid broilers were slaughtered at 35, 42, 49, 56 and 63 days of age. Randomly selected 25-30 male and female broilers were slaughtered and, slaugheter weights, dressing percentage, abdominal fat, thigh percentage ...
