Genomic selection for pork quality and carcass traits in both cross- and pure-bred populations
DownloadSpring 2015
Pork quality and carcass characteristics are now being integrated into swine breeding objectives because of their economic value. Understanding the genetic basis for these traits is necessary for this to be accomplished. The main objective of this study was to improve pork quality traits in two...

Relationships between loin physical, meat quality and intramuscular collagen characteristics of carcasses from crossbred swine populations
DownloadSpring 2020
Carcass and meat characteristics are of great importance to the pork industry as they determine the ultimate returns from animals produced. Making genetic progress in these traits requires them to be measurable, heritable and have adequate additive genetic variability. Estimates of genetic...

A whole genome scan was conducted to identify and fine map QTL regions for ultrasound and carcass merit traits in beef cattle. A total of 465 steers and bulls, genotyped for 4592 SNPs, were analysed for 16 ultrasound and carcass merit traits using interval mapping, single marker regression and...
