Development of fat depots in cattle and associations with beef quality

摘要: Introduction: Information on development of fat depots as affected by genotype, stage production, nutrition during the immediate post-weaning period, and their interactions is limited. The objectives this study are to I) determine whether a high energy, starch based supplement period enhances marbling; 2) genotype interact affect depots; 3) obtain data samples for detailed depot development; 4) understand factors influencing tenderness beef provide Meat Standards Australia (MSA) cuts-based palatability model.
