Parameter estimation and assessment of bias in genetic evaluation of carcass traits in Hanwoo cattle using real and simulated data

Journal of Animal Science and Technology, 2023
Most carcass and meat quality traits are moderate to highly heritable, indicating that they can be improved through selection. Genetic evaluation for these types of traits is performed using performance data obtained from commercial and progeny testing ...

Genetic correlations between wool traits and carcass traits in Merino sheep [PDF]

Journal of Animal Science, 2017
Genetic correlations between 29 wool production and quality traits and 14 whole carcass measures and carcass component traits were estimated from the Information Nucleus of 8 flocks managed across a range of Australian sheep production environments and genetically linked.

Mapping carcass and meat quality QTL on Sus Scrofa chromosome 2 in commercial finishing pigs [PDF]

, 2009
Quantitative trait loci (QTL) affecting carcass and meat quality located on SSC2 were identified using variance component methods. A large number of traits involved in meat and carcass quality was detected in a commercial crossbred population: 1855 pigs ...

Genomic heritability and correlation between carcass traits in Japanese Black cattle evaluated under different ceilings of relatedness among individuals

Frontiers in Genetics, 2023
The investigation of carcass traits to produce meat with high efficiency has been in focus on Japanese Black cattle since 1972. To implement a successful breeding program in carcass production, a comprehensive understanding of genetic characteristics and

Monthly variation in hog carcass traits [PDF]

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports, 1996
Little research has been conducted regarding the impact that time of year when hogs are marketed has on various carcass traits. This study examined monthly variation in a variety of hog carcass traits based upon 1995 slaughter summaries provided by a ...

Genetic parameters for visual scores, growth and carcass traits in Nellore Cattle [PDF]

Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências
Growth and carcass traits are essential selection criteria for beef cattle breeding programs. However, it is necessary to combine these measurements with body composition traits to meet the demand of the consumer market.

Effects of carcass weight, sex and breed composition on meat cuts and carcass trait in finishing pigs

Journal of Integrative Agriculture, 2023
Pork cutting is a very important processing in promoting economic appreciation across the swine business chain. The goal of this research is to determine the proportion and weight of meat cuts, as well as to analyze the effects of carcass weight, sex and

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

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.
