Abstract excerpt
The contribution of chromosomal regions linked to growth hormone (GH) and insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) loci to variation in preweaning average daily gain, postweaning average daily gain (ADG), 10th rib backfat, loin-eye area and muscle pH were evaluated. Offspring of four purebred sires (A-D; n = 150, 195, 148 and 136, respectively) and two cross-bred sires (E and F; n = 157 and 145, respectively) were...
