- Analysis of gut microbiota in the Feces of Korean native black goat using 16S rRNA sequencing
Despite the recent surge in consumer demand for native goats as an alternative meat source, driven by shifting perceptions of health foods, there is a notable lack of prior research on this livestock breed. This study aimed to characterize the gut microbiota of native goat populations to …
- Causal inference using genome-wide association study results of Hanwoo carcass traits: Mendelian randomization analysis
Setting breeding objectives to enhance carcass traits in Hanwoo is essential for increasing the profitability of the Hanwoo industry and ensuring that consumers receive high-quality meat. Key carcass traits, including carcass weight (CWT), eye muscle area (EMA), back-fat thickness (BFT), …
- Identification of genetic loci associated with live body weight and carcass weight in red brown Korean native chickens
Body weight is an important quantitative trait controlled by genetic and environmental factors. The identification of genetic mechanisms influencing weight gain is important for improving the production of chicken meat. Thus, the aim of this study was to identify genetic loci associated …
- A study on closed breeding of Hanwoo for preservation and genetic diversity
Hanwoo is Korean native beef cattle which contains high-marbled meat. To maintain genetic diversity and preserve the breed of Hanwoo, the Hanwoo research institute of the National Institute of Animal Science (NIAS) has been conducting research on the formation of …
