Quantitative genetic analysis for meat tenderness trait in Polled Nellore cattle

Abstract: -The aim of the present study was to analyze the interrelationships among the variables and also estimate the genetic correlations between tenderness (WBSF), growth (ILW, FLW and ADG) and carcass (BF, RF and LMA) features. Other purpose was to identify individuals who were more likely to be carriers of favorable genes for tenderness. Growth, carcass and tenderness data from 415 Polled Nellore animals was analyzed. Factor analysis and canonical correlations were used to analyze the phenotypic relationships. Th… Show more

“…All genes mentioned above, are located in chromosome 14 and were associated with several traits besides tenderness, suggesting a pleiotropic effect. These results corroborate those describing positive genetic correlation estimates of tenderness with growth traits [ 65 ] and with fat thickness [ 66 ].…”

“…Uma alternativa para inserção dessa característica no sistema produtivo nacional seria por meio da seleção de animais com maiores graus de maciez. Porém, uma herdabilidade de baixa a moderada é reportada para força de cisalhamento, sendo de 0,11 a 0,53 para raças taurinas (SHACKELFORD et al, 1994;WULF et al, 1996;ZWAMBAG et al, 2013) e 0,11 a 0,19 para raça Nelore (TIZIOTO et al, 2013;CASTRO et al, 2014;MAGALHÃES et al, 2016). Por isso, entender os mecanismos fisiológicos por meio das informações ômicas poderia impulsionar a compreensão da variação genética e fenotípica da maciez da carne, de forma a incorporá-la dentro da cadeia produtiva da carne, seja na forma de seleção de animais seja por meio de biomarcadores associados a essa.…”
