Article Synopsis
- - The study focuses on A Luoi Yellow cattle, a native breed in Vietnam known for its small size, adaptability, and high-quality meat, aiming to enhance breeding genetics using marker-assisted selection for better meat quality and livestock sustainability.
- - Researchers analyzed six key genes related to meat quality using PCR techniques and also explored genetic diversity through mitochondrial DNA and Y chromosome analysis.
- - Results revealed both paternal and maternal origins for the cattle, identified new mtDNA haplotypes, and showed the presence of favorable genetic traits that could support future breeding efforts for improved meat tenderness and overall productivity.
Bovine leukemia virus (BLV) is the etiologic agent of enzootic bovine leucosis. Our previous study showed the BLV existence in cattle kept in the Red River Delta Region of Vietnam. However, no positive samples were identified in beef cattle.

Methods: Three Vietnamese fiber sources were screened, namely cassava leaf meal (CL), cassava root residue (CR), and tofu by-product (TF). Accordingly, a control diet (Con) with 10% of dietary non-starch polysaccharides (NSP) and three test diets including one of the three fiber-rich feedstuffs to reach 15% of NSP were formulated.
