The impact of myostatin variants on growth traits in South African Bonsmara beef cattle.

Tropical animal health and production - 25 Oct 2024

Madula Rendani, Visser Carina, van Marle-Köster Este

Abstract excerpt

Double muscling occurs when the myostatin (MSTN) gene is deactivated due to a series of mutations, leading to uncontrolled muscle growth and excessive muscle fiber accumulation, as the gene can no longer effectively regulate muscle development. This study aimed to assess the impact of MSTN variants and their combinations on growth traits, namely direct birth weight (BWDIR), direct weaning weight (WWDIR), average...
