Abstract excerpt
The purpose of the present study was to compare Rendement Napole (RN) classification from glycolytic potential (GP) and DNA techniques, and to study the effect of the RN gene on performance, carcass, muscle quality, and sensory traits. Progeny (N = 118) from the mating of 15 purebred Hampshire sires to York x Landrace females were classified for RN gene status using the GP of the loin and polymerase chain...
