Myostatin allelic status interacts with level of nutrition to affect growth, composition, and myofiber characteristics of lambs.

Journal of animal science - 1 Feb 2012

Haynes F E M, Greenwood P L, McDonagh M B, Oddy V H

Abstract excerpt

The objective of this experiment was to determine if growth, carcass composition, and myofiber characteristics of lambs were affected by heterozygosity for a myostatin mutation (g+6723G>A) when offered differing allowances of feed administered with or without ractopamine. Heterozygote [MSTN A/G (n = 40)] and homozygote wildtype [MSTN G/G (n = 39)] castrate male lambs were individually fed ad libitum (HI; 1.8 ×...
