Growth and development of tissues and biological characteristics of muscle in rearing and finishing beef cattle
Published : 27 February 1993
Abstract
This paper gives an overview of what the various teams have learnt concerning the biological laws for variation in body composition of cattle and the effects of zootechnical factors influencing this (breed, sex, slaughter weight, feeding level, type of feed and growth factors). The biological characteristics of muscle tissue, which govern meat quality, and the variations thereof under the influence of the same factors are also addressed.
