Association of myostatin on early calf mortality, growth, and carcass composition traits in crossbred cattle.

Journal of animal science - 1 Oct 2004

Casas E, Bennett G L, Smith T P L, Cundiff L V

Abstract excerpt

The objective of this study was to investigate a potential association of an inactive myostatin allele with early calf mortality, and evaluate its effect on growth and carcass traits in a crossbred population. Animals were obtained by mating F1 cows to F1 (Belgian Blue x British Breed) or Charolais sires. Cows were obtained from mating Hereford, Angus, and MARC III (1/4 Hereford, 1/4 Angus, 1/4 Pinzgauer, and 1/4...
