Effects of quantitative trait loci and the myostatin locus on trace and macro elements (minerals) in bovine liver, muscle and kidney

Effects of quantitative trait loci and the myostatin locus on trace and macro elements (minerals) in bovine liver, muscle and kidney

Summary A quantitative trait locus (QTL) study of the concentrations of 14 trace and macro elements (minerals) in tissues of beef cattle was conducted in New Zealand. Back‐cross calves with Jersey and Limousin ancestry (202 heifers and 211 steers) were generated using first‐cross sires. This paper r...

Zusammenfassung:Summary A quantitative trait locus (QTL) study of the concentrations of 14 trace and macro elements (minerals) in tissues of beef cattle was conducted in New Zealand. Back‐cross calves with Jersey and Limousin ancestry (202 heifers and 211 steers) were generated using first‐cross sires. This paper reports on testing for effects of QTL on the concentrations of minerals in liver, kidney and muscle in cattle at slaughter, following a growth phase during which rearing and finishing stages were on pasture. Fifteen QTL were identified (P
