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 ...

DNA sequence polymorphisms in a panel of eight candidate bovine imprinted genes and their association with performance traits in Irish Holstein-Friesian cattle [PDF]
, 2010 peer-reviewedBackground: Studies in mice and humans have shown that imprinted genes, whereby expression from one of the two parentally inherited alleles is attenuated or completely silenced, have a major effect on mammalian growth, metabolism and ...

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

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 ...

Single nucleotide polymorphisms at the imprinted bovine insulin-like growth factor 2 (IGF2) locus are associated with dairy performance in Irish Holstein-Friesian cattle [PDF]
, 2010 peer-reviewedThe imprinted insulin-like growth factor 2 gene (IGF2) encodes a fetal mitogenic hormone protein (IGF-II) and has previously been shown to be associated with performance in dairy cattle.

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 ...
