Patent

CA 2478104

The disclosure relates to the use of genetic traits in livestock for determining breeding characteristics of livestock progeny, and for optimizing the management and marketing of livestock for improving feedlot performance and meat quality. The disclosure specifically relates to genetic markers and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the bovine somatostatin locus, as well as haplotypes that include the somatostatin locus, which are associated with certain quantitative trait loci (QTLs), such as marbling, meat quality grade, and yield grade. In a preferred embodiment, the SNPs and haplotypes are predictive of the increased or decreased amount of tissue marbling in the animal.

La présente invention concerne l'utilisation des traits génétiques du bétail pour déterminer les caractéristiques des améliorations génétiques de la descendance du bétail, et pour optimiser la gestion et la commercialisation du bétail afin d'améliorer le rendement du parc d'engraissement et la qualité de la viande. La présente invention concerne plus particulièrement des marqueurs génétiques et des polymorphismes de nucléotides simples (SNP) dans le locus de la somatostatine chez les bovins, ainsi que des haplotypes comprenant le locus de la somatostatine, lesquels sont associés à certains locus quantitatifs (QTL), tels que le persillage, le classement de la qualité de la viande, et le niveau de rendement. Dans un mode de réalisation privilégié, les SNP et les haplotypes sont des éléments prédictifs de la hausse ou de la baisse de la quantité de persillage des tissus chez l'animal.
