Effects and interactions of myostatin and callipyge mutations: I. Growth and carcass traits.

Journal of animal science - 6 Mar 2018

Freking Brad A, King David A, Shackelford Steven D, Wheeler Tommy L, Smith Tim P L

Abstract excerpt

Objectives were to document effects of the Texel myostatin mutation (MSTN) on growth and carcass traits and also test whether or not interactions with the callipyge mutation (CLPG) could be detected. Twelve rams heterozygous at both loci on the two different chromosomes were mated to 215 terminal-sire type composite crossbred ewes genotyped as non-carriers for both loci. A total of 365 lambs were born, 362 of...
