Revisiting paravertebral muscles in European rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) and European brown hares (Lepus europaeus) (Leporidae; Lagomorpha)

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Domesticated European rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) have long been chosen as laboratory model organisms. Despite this, there has been no definitive study of the vertebral musculature of wild rabbits. Relevant descriptions of well‐studied veterinary model mammals (such as dogs) are generally applicable, but not appropriate for a species ...

Study on Association of Single Nucleotide Polymorphism of MC3R and MC4R Genes with Carcass and Meat Quality Traits in Chicken

open access: yesThe Journal of Poultry Science, 2009
Body composition, fat deposition and meat quality are important traits in chickens. Melanocortin receptor (MCR) plays an important role in central melanocortin system (CMS) and muscle cells.

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

open access: yesBMC 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.

Carcass traits of four rabbit genotypes [PDF]

open access: yesItalian Journal of Animal Science, 2005
Seventy-three rabbits of four genotypes (A - SIKA maternal line; C - SIKA sire line; AxC - hybrids between line A and C; AxCal - crossbreds between line A and the Californian breed) were used to evaluate the effect of genotype on carcass traits. Rabbits were weaned at 35 days and slaughtered at 93 days of age.

Comparative cranial biomechanics reveal macroevolutionary trends in theropod dinosaurs, with emphasis on Tyrannosauroidea

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Tyrannosaurus is viewed as a model organism in vertebrate paleontology, with numerous studies analyzing its feeding biomechanics. Nonetheless, the evolution of this feeding performance has been under‐addressed in Tyrannosauroidea, especially in basal tyrannosauroids. Here we used muscle‐force reconstruction and finite element analysis (FEA) to

Genetic and non-genetic evaluation tools for accelerating improvement in beef cattle carcass traits within and across country [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The main revenue source for beef cattle farmers is the price they are awarded for carcasses based on carcass value (i.e., carcass weight, conformation and fat score) which is influenced by genetic and environmental factors (e.g., herd management).

Genetic architecture of quantitative traits in beef cattle revealed by genome wide association studies of imputed whole genome sequence variants: II: carcass merit traits

open access: yesBMC Genomics, 2020
Background Genome wide association studies (GWAS) were conducted on 7,853,211 imputed whole genome sequence variants in a population of 3354 to 3984 animals from multiple beef cattle breeds for five carcass merit traits including hot carcass weight (HCW),

Influence of Image Analysis and Carcass Traits on Beef Carcass Price

open access: yesNihon Chikusan Gakkaiho, 2003
北海道内の枝肉市場に上場された黒毛和種去勢牛(1,543頭)および交雑種去勢牛(532頭)の枝肉横断面の画像に対し,脂肪面積比,全体の粒子のあらさ,最大粒子のあらさ,ロース芯の短径・長径比およびロース芯形状の複雑さを画像解析形質として分析に用いた.格付形質としては,枝肉重量,ロース芯面積,バラの厚さ,皮下脂肪厚,BMSナンバー,BCS等級およびBFS等級を用いた.これらの形質が牛枝肉価格にどのような影響があるかを検討した.取り上げた14種類のモデルのうち,格付形質のみおよび画像解析形質を含む2種類の,計3モデルについて詳細に検討した.3種類のモデルの決定係数は,黒毛和種で0.799~0.825,交雑種で0.784~0.792の範囲にあった.価格に最も影響を与えた形質は ...

Identification of SNPs in TG and EDG1 genes and their relationships with carcass traits in Korean cattle (Hanwoo) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Thyroglobulin (TG) gene was known to be regulated fat cell growth and differentiation and the endothelial differentiation sphingolipid G-protein-coupled receptor 1 (EDG1) gene involves blood vessel formation and known to be affecting carcass traits ...
