Effect of and polymorphisms on the productivity, chemical composition, and fatty acid profile of meat from Simmental bulls.

Background And Aim: Enhancing the nutritional and biological value of meat obtained from young surplus replacement animals of dual-purpose breeds is a critical objective in the livestock industry. This study aimed to investigate the impact of (, ) and (, ) polymorphisms on the productivity, chemical composition, and fatty acid (FA) profile of meat from Simmental bulls.

Materials And Methods: A total of 26 Simmental bulls were genotyped for () and () polymorphisms and reared under the same fattening conditions.
