Abstract excerpt
Myostatin (MSTN) is an essential gene that regulates muscle growth and development in livestock animals, influencing meat production and carcass quality. This review looks at MSTN genetic diversity in a variety of animals, including cattle, sheep, goats, and poultry, focusing on correlations between particular mutations and phenotypic parameters such as muscle mass and growth rate. Mutations in the MSTN gene have...
