Abstract excerpt
Muscle fibre characteristics (MFCs) are related to lean meat production and meat quality. We newly estimated the heritability and genetic correlation of MFCs and meat quality in biopsied and post-mortem meat samples of 595 Jeju black pigs (JBPs). The cross-sectional area (CSA) (Type I: 0.76 and Type IIA: 0.89), % MF area (MFA) (Type I: 0.82), and % MF number (MFN) between the biopsied and post-mortem samples had...
