Abstract excerpt
The aim of the research was to gain a better understanding of the genomic regulation of meat quality by investigating individual and epistatic QTL in a three-generation full-sib population (Pietrain x crossbred dam line). In total, 386 animals were genotyped for 96 markers. Analysed traits included pH, reflectance value, conductivity, and meat colour. Thirteen significant individual QTL were identified. The most...
