A genetic linkage map of common carp (Cyprinus carpio L.) was constructed using Type I
and Type II microsatellite markers and a pseudo-testcross mapping strategy. The …

Some wild antelopes are fast sprinters and more resistant to fatigue than others. This study
therefore investigated two wild antelope species to better understand their reported …

The effects of sex and production systems on carcass yield, meat quality and proximate
composition of sub-adult impala were evaluated by culling 35 impala from intensive (12 …

Springbok is the most extensively cropped game species in South Africa. The effects of age
(adult, sub-adult, lamb), gender and production region on the physical attributes (pH24 …

Skeletal muscle fibre type, cross-sectional area (CSA), maximum enzyme capacities and
fibre oxidative capacities were investigated in three southern African antelope species …

A novel 31-bp indel polymorphism in intron 3 of the chicken paired box 7 (PAX7) gene was
identified and genotyped in an F2 resource population of Gushi chicken crossed with Anka …

Myosin heavy chain (MHC) isoform content and citrate synthase (CS) activities were
measured in the Quadriceps femoris (QF) muscle of 18 female rats. The muscle group was …

BACKGROUND The harvesting and consumption of game meat in South Africa is not limited
to season. The study was thus aimed at investigating the seasonal impact on the chemical …

The aim was to separate and characterize the myosin heavy chain (MHC) isoforms of four
southern African wild ruminants, namely Blesbuck (Damaliscus dorcas phillipsi), Kudu …

This study quantified the impact of season on fatty acid profiles of male and female blesbok
muscles (longissimus thoracis et lumborum, biceps femoris, semimembranosus …
