In the present study, we studied the effect of high oxygen-modified packaging (HiOx-MAP) on yak meat tenderness and the underlying mechanism. HiOx-MAP significantly increased the myofibril fragmentation index (MFI) of yak meat. In addition, western blotting showed that the expression of hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF-1α) and ryanodine receptors (RyR) in the HiOx-MAP group was reduced. HiOx-MAP increased the activity of sarcoplasmic reticulum calcium-ATPase (SERCA). The energy disperse spectroscopy (EDS) mapping showed gradually reduced calcium distribution in the treated endoplasmic reticulum. Furthermore, HiOx-MAP treatment increased the caspase-3 activity and the apoptosis rate. The activity of calmodulin protein (CaMKKβ) and AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) was down-regulated leading to apoptosis. These results indicated that HiOx-MAP promoted apoptosis during postmortem aging to improve the tenderization of meat.

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.

Copy number variations (CNV) are important genetic variations. The endogenous factors cobalamin receptor () and MIA SH3 domain ER-derived factor 3 () are associated with bone/muscle development and intramuscular fat deposition. There have been no reports on the effects of and CNVs on growth traits of Chinese cattle.

The objective of this study was to investigate the water-holding capacity (WHC) and quality changes of beef during heating at specific temperatures (including 40 °C, 60 °C, 80 °C, and 100 °C), as well as the degradation of proteins and the distribution of water within the muscle at different heating temperatures. The experiment utilized the sirloin section from eight crossbred cattle of and breeds, with four sampling sessions, two cattle per session. Each cattle were divided into 30 beef sirloin samples, each weighing 150 ± 10 g, and each session was completed within 3 days with the following tests.

Ivermectin (IVM) is one of the most widely used antiparasitic drugs worldwide and has become the drug of choice for anthelmintic and tick treatment in beef cattle production. Drugs used in production animals requires a withdrawal period after treatment to avoid residual concentrations above the defined maximun residue level (MRL). The aims of this study were to quantify the residue level of IVM in different muscles of cattle at several different time periods following 1% or 3.
