Abstract
Japanese Brown cattle is the second most popular breed among Wagyu breeds and raised mainly in Kumamoto and Kochi Prefectures. Typical coat color of the Kumamoto sub-breed is solid brown, but individuals with diluted coat color are sometimes born. We previously detected four SNPs in PMEL gene and identified p.L18del as the causative polymorphism of this diluted phenotype. The current study examined the association between the SNPs in PMEL gene and carcass traits of the Kumamoto sub-breed. Our association analysis revealed that p.L18del had significant effects on BMS (p = 0.0263), meat brightness (p = 0.0179), meat firmness (p = 0.0102), and meat texture (p = 0.0252) and that del allele of this SNP might be useful to improve these carcass traits.
期刊介绍：
Animal Science Journal (a continuation of Animal Science and Technology) is the official journal of the Japanese Society of Animal Science (JSAS) and publishes Original Research Articles (full papers and rapid communications) in English in all fields of animal and poultry science: genetics and breeding, genetic engineering, reproduction, embryo manipulation, nutrition, feeds and feeding, physiology, anatomy, environment and behavior, animal products (milk, meat, eggs and their by-products) and their processing, and livestock economics. Animal Science Journal will invite Review Articles in consultations with Editors. Submission to the Journal is open to those who are interested in animal science.
