Good muscle development leads to improved meat quality. Hence modern breeds of livestock animal have been selectively bred for better conformation, increased muscle size and increased muscle-to-bone ratio. This book describes all aspects of muscle development research, and contains contributions from leading research groups around the world.Veterinary physiologyMusclesPhysiologyLivestockGeneticsMeatQualityVeterinary physiology.MusclesPhysiology.LivestockGenetics.MeatQuality.636.089274Pas M.
