The effect of MC4R polymorphism on carcass composition and meat quality traits in pigs slaughter at different live weights
Commercial crossbred pigs slaughtered at different live weights were used to investigate the effect of G1426A polymorphism in the melanocortin-4 receptor (MC4R) gene on carcass composition and meat quality traits. The significant effect of G/A substitution on backfat thickness (BF; P<0.01) was ob...
