Abstract excerpt
Plasma metabolites and hormones, and the biochemical characteristics of four fatty tissues (FT) were studied in two groups of six normal (N) or six double-muscled (DM) Belgian Blue young growing bulls fed the same net energy amount at the same live weight and slaughtered at 10 months of age. Average daily gain and feed efficiency did not significantly differ between the two groups. However, the DM bulls exhibited...
