Effects of metabolic modifiers on carcass traits and meat quality

Meat Science, 2007
Much research has been conducted and published about metabolic modifiers that increase growth rate, improve feed efficiency, increase carcass leanness, and decrease carcass fatness. Most of these metabolic modifiers have been developed to improve efficiency and profitability of livestock production and to improve carcass composition, with fewer of them

Genomic selection for meat quality traits in Pekin duck

Animal Genetics, 2021
SummaryGenomic selection uses genome‐wide molecular marker data to predict an animal's genetic value in the breeding program. This study's objective was to present heritability estimates and accuracy of genomic prediction using different methods for meat quality traits in Pekin duck.

Economic Values for Meat Quality Traits in Pigs

Journal of Animal Science, 1996
The aim for this study was to derive economic values for meat quality traits. Meat quality experts from 10 slaughter and retail companies in Switzerland were asked to give an interview in which they indicated their willingness to pay different prices for carcasses from different quality classes.

Detection of quantitative trait loci for meat quality traits in cattle

Animal Genetics, 2008
SummaryA whole‐genome scan was carried out to detect quantitative trait loci (QTL) affecting sensory, organoleptic, physical and chemical properties of meat. The study used phenotypic data from 235 second‐generation cross‐bred bull calves of a Charolais × Holstein experimental population.

Effects of litter size and sex on meat quality traits of kid meat

Small Ruminant Research, 2004
Abstract The influence of litter size and sex on meat quality traits was investigated using 40 Nebrodi kids slaughtered at 47 days of age. Carcass measurements (body components, carcass joints, pelvic limb tissue composition, meat fatty acid composition and M.

Meat quality traits of commercial hybrid pigs in Argentina

Meat Science, 2008
This report describes the meat quality of two INTA hybrids (hybrid females) sired by Duroc (D) or Yorkshire (Y) boars and a third one from PIC (S), a cross of females C22 to 412 boars. Starting at 30kg live weight, 18 barrows and 18 gilts of each genotype were kept in identical conditions until slaughtered at 110kg.

Economic values of optimum traits: the example of meat quality in pigs

Journal of Animal Science, 1993
In this paper a method is outlined to derive marginal-income functions and to calculate economic values for traits with an intermediate optimum such as meat-quality traits. A normal distribution of the quality trait was assumed, but the method can be used for other distributions as well.

Genetic correlations between wool traits and meat quality traits in Merino sheep

Journal of Animal Science, 2017
Genetic correlations between 29 wool production and quality traits and 25 meat quality and nutritional value traits were estimated for Merino sheep from an Information Nucleus (IN). Genetic correlations among the meat quality and nutritional value traits are also reported. The IN comprised 8 flocks linked genetically and managed across a range of sheep

Quantitative trait loci analysis of swine meat quality traits.

Journal of animal science, 2010
A QTL study was performed in large half-sib families to characterize the genetic background of variation in pork quality traits as well as to examine the possibilities of including QTL in a marker-assisted selection scheme. The quality traits included ultimate pH in LM and the semimembranosus, drip loss, and the Minolta color measurements L*, a*, and b*
