Beef consumption is expected to increase worldwide, which necessitates the use of Bos
indicus cattle that are well-adapted to harsher climates, like the tropics. Yet, beef from these …

Fat deposition is a complex economic trait regulated by polygenic genetic basis and
environmental factors. Therefore, integrating multi-omics data to uncover its internal …

Background Commercial cuts yield is an important trait for beef production, which affects the
final value of the products, but its direct determination is a challenging procedure to be …

Background Positively correlated with carcass weight and animal growth, the ribeye area
(REA) and the backfat thickness (BFT) are economic important carcass traits, which impact …

Visible and near-infrared spectroscopy (Vis-NIRS) was tested for its effectiveness in
predicting intramuscular fat (IMF) and WBSF in Nellore steers. Beef samples from …

The present study estimated genetic parameters and evaluated the genetic and phenotypic
correlations between meat quality characteristics of Nellore cattle evaluated at different …

Genetic parameters, genetic trends, and genetic progress of carcass traits were estimated
for 12,447 Nellore individuals from different Brazilian herds. The following carcass traits …

This study aimed to use RNA-Seq to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in
muscle of uncastrated Nelore males phenotypically divergent for ribeye muscle area (REA) …

The main definition for meat quality should include factors that affect consumer appreciation
of the product. Physical laboratory analyses are necessary to identify factors that affect meat …

Fat deposition traits are influenced by genetics and environment, which affect meat quality,
growth rate, and energy metabolism of domestic animals. However, at present, the …
