The aim of this study was to analyse simultaneously the effect of rearing managements (RM), carcass traits, muscle type (longissimus thoracis, LT and rectus abdominis, RA) and their interactions on colour (system L*a*b*), sensory and rheological properties of 77 heifers. The data used were 46 rearing factors defining four RM applied during the heifers' whole life from and 5 carcass traits discriminating two carcass quality clusters (Low and High quality). The results showed that the RM had an impact on the carcass and meat quality traits. The redness and the overall acceptability of LT meat were more sensitive to variation of RM than RA meat. The tenderness of LT and RA were similar or not according to the RM. Higher tenderness was obtained from high carcass quality irrespective the muscle. These results show that similar carcass and meat qualities can be obtained with different RM. They also demonstrated that it is also possible to manage jointly carcass and meat qualities.

To improve the quality and yield of the Korean beef industry, selection criteria often focus on estimated breeding values for carcass weight (CWT), eye muscle area (EMA), backfat thickness (BF), and marbling score (MS). This study estimated genetic parameters and assessed the accuracy of genomic estimated breeding values (GEBVs) using SNP weighting methods. We compared the accuracy of these methods with the genomic best linear unbiased prediction (GBLUP) and various Bayesian approaches (BayesA, BayesB, BayesC, and BayesCPi) for the specified traits.

Water treatment technologies have received great attention recently, as water is the most important nutritional element, and animals consume it daily in larger quantities than those of food. The ideal water treatment affects the chemical composition and physical properties of water, having a significant positive impact on the animal's physiology, productivity, and welfare. Studies conducted on water ionization devices for broiler chickens remain limited; therefore, this study was planned to investigate the effect of ionized drinking water on the productive performance, physiological status, and carcass characteristics of broiler chicks.

Fatty acids (FAs) are a group of organic compounds that are regulated by polygenic and environmental factors and affect the taste, nutritional value, and quality of meat. Lamb meat is rich in FAs required by the human body, which has directed more attention to sheep research and meat production. The fatty acid-binding protein 4 () gene is considered a candidate gene that can affect FA composition in livestock.

The use of GWASs in agriculture allows associations between SNPs and quantitative or qualitative traits in cattle to be estimated. This study investigated the relationships among a number of economically useful carcass traits (slaughter weight, meat yield, and meat marbling) with a group of SNPs that can act as DNA markers. Blood samples from Aberdeen Angus bulls (n = 260) were used as material for SNP genotyping.
