Effect of different genetic backgrounds on rumen microbiota and serum metabolic phenotypes in beef cattle

Scientific Reports
Species with different genetic backgrounds exhibit distinct metabolic traits. Nine beef cattle were selected for the experiment to study changes in serum metabolic phenotypes, rumen microbiota diversity, and composition in beef cattle from different ...

The association of RNF34 and RNF128 with carcass and meat quality traits of Chinese Simmental-cross steers [PDF]

Archives Animal Breeding
In Chinese Simmental-cross steers, carcass and meat quality traits are investigated by identifying SNPs (single-nucleotide polymorphisms) in the RNF34 and RNF128 genes.

Accuracies of genomic prediction for twenty economically important traits in Chinese Simmental beef cattle. [PDF]

Anim Genet, 2019
SummaryGenomic prediction has been widely utilized to estimate genomic breeding values (GEBVs) in farm animals. In this study, we conducted genomic prediction for 20 economically important traits including growth, carcass and meat quality traits in Chinese Simmental beef cattle.

Functional studies on methylation of the promoter region of the NR2E1 gene regulating adipocytes in beef cattle [PDF]

BMC Genomics
Background Methylation plays a pivotal role in the modulation of gene expression, with the occurrence of promoter and exon 1 methylation typically resulting in transcriptional repression.

Accumulation of Clenbuterol Residues in the Hair of Chinese Simmental Beef Cattle During and After Treatment [PDF]

Journal of Analytical Toxicology, 2013
The aim of this study was to evaluate the concentrations of clenbuterol residues in the red hair of Chinese Simmental beef cattle following exposure to two doses of clenbuterol for 21 days. This experiment was conducted in six male red pied Chinese Simmental beef cattle which were randomly divided into two groups (n = 3).

Deciphering the Evolution Pattern of Structural Variations Overlapped With Repetitive Sequence During Cattle Evolution. [PDF]

Adv Sci (Weinh)
The authors complement bovine pan‐SV with massive novel structural variations (SVs) identified through long‐read sequencing of 83 globally distributed cattle breeds. Repetitive sequence‐mediated SVs (rep‐SV) exhibit distinct dynamic patterns throughout cattle sub‐speciation and/or domestication processes, including uneven distribution between chr‐X and

Identification of Candidate Variants Associated With Bone Weight Using Whole Genome Sequence in Beef Cattle

Frontiers in Genetics, 2021
Bone weight is critical to affect body conformation and stature in cattle. In this study, we conducted a genome-wide association study for bone weight in Chinese Simmental beef cattle based on the imputed sequence variants.

The Potential of Various Living Tissues for Monitoring Clenbuterol Abuse in Food-Producing Chinese Simmental Beef Cattle [PDF]

Journal of Analytical Toxicology, 2015
We aimed to evaluate whether living tissues such as urine, plasma and hair were suitable for monitoring clenbuterol (CL) abuse after its subchronic administration of a growth-promoting dose to the Chinese Simmental beef cattle. Eight male, white and red pied Chinese Simmental beef cattle were involved in the experiment, and the CL dose was 16 µg/kg BW ...

Genome-Wide Association Study Reveals the PLAG1 Gene for Knuckle, Biceps and Shank Weight in Simmental Beef Cattle. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
Carcass traits of beef cattle have been genetically improved to increase yield of high quality meat. Genome-wide association study (GWAS) is a powerful method to identify genetic variants associated with carcass traits.
