Genetic Parameters of White Striping and Meat Quality Traits Indicative of Pale, Soft, Exudative Meat in Turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo) [PDF]

Frontiers in Genetics, 2022
Due to the increasing prevalence of growth-related myopathies and abnormalities in turkey meat, the ability to include meat quality traits in poultry breeding strategies is an issue of key importance.

Genetic parameters for meat quality traits of Australian lamb meat [PDF]

Meat Science, 2014
Genetic parameters were estimated for a range of meat quality traits recorded on Australian lamb meat. Data were collected from Merino and crossbred progeny of Merino, terminal and maternal meat breed sires of the Information Nucleus programme. Lambs born between 2007 and 2010 (n=8968) were slaughtered, these being the progeny of 372 sires and 5309 ...

Genomic selection for meat quality traits in Nelore cattle

Meat Science, 2019
The objective of this study was to present heritability estimates and accuracy of genomic prediction using different methods for meat quality traits in Nelore cattle. Approximately 5000 animals with phenotypes and genotypes of 412,000 SNPs, were divided into two groups: (1) training population: animals born from 2008 to 2013 and (2) validation ...

The effect of forage type on lamb carcass traits, meat quality and sensory traits [PDF]

Meat Science, 2016
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of different forage-types on lamb carcass, meat quality and sensory attributes. Sixty-two, White Dorper lambs finished on bladder clover, brassica, chicory+arrowleaf clover, lucerne+phalaris or lucerne, were slaughtered at a commercial abattoir. At 24h post-mortem, the m. longissimus thoracis et lumborum

Genetic and phenotypic correlations between performance traits with meat quality and carcass characteristics in commercial crossbred pigs. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Genetic correlations between performance traits with meat quality and carcass traits were estimated on 6,408 commercial crossbred pigs with performance traits recorded in production systems with 2,100 of them having meat quality and carcass measurements.

Genetic variances, heritabilities and maternal effects on body weight, breast meat yield, meat quality traits and the shape of the growth curve in turkey birds [PDF]

, 2011
Background Turkey is an important agricultural species and is largely used as a meat bird. In 2004, turkey represented 6.5% of the world poultry meat production. The world-wide turkey population has rapidly grown due to increased commercial farming.

Meat quality traits of Marchigiana beef cattle

Italian Journal of Animal Science, 2007
Variation in quality of meat - within the same breed and among different ones - is due both to different biological factor (genotype, productivity, sex and age) and environmental and technological ...

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 ...

Influence of Post Mortem Muscle Activity on Turkey Meat Quality

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2022
Wing flapping and body movement can occur during the slaughter of poultry. Wing movement and flapping are driven primarily by the breast muscles (Pectoralis major and minor), and this muscle activity may have implications for meat quality.
