Quantitative proteomic approach is a suitable way to tackle the beef tenderness. Ten aged-
beef samples from Longissimus thoracis of Piemontese breed classified as tender (n= 5) …

Consumer perception of beef is heavily influenced by overall meat quality, a critical factor in
the cattle industry. Genomics has the potential to improve important beef quality traits and …

Background Genomic regions with a high frequency of runs of homozygosity (ROH) are
related to important traits in farm animals. We carried out a comprehensive analysis of ROH …

Single and multiple-trait GWAS were conducted to detect genomic regions and candidate
genes associated with meat color traits (L*, lightness; a*, redness; b*, yellowness) in Nellore …

The use of sexed semen to produce replacement heifers in dairy farms allows many cows to
be inseminated with bulls of beef breeds with the aim of improving meat production. The …

Intensification of livestock production systems is mainly driven by increasing population and
subsequent increase in food demand. Major challenges of an intensified system are …

Italy has a long history in beef production, with local breeds such as Marchigiana, Chianina,
Romagnola, Maremmana, and Podolica which produce high-quality meat. Selection has …

Abstract European taurine and East Asian taurine are two main clades in Bos taurus, but
their genomic differences are not clearly elucidated. Here, we sequenced 16 Mongolian …

Objective: As one of the most valuable genetic resources of Ongole beef cattle globally, the
