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. 606 $aVeterinary physiology 606 $aMuscles$xPhysiology 606 $aLivestock$xGenetics 606 $aMeat$xQuality 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aVeterinary physiology. 615 0$aMuscles$xPhysiology. 615 0$aLivestock$xGenetics. 615 0$aMeat$xQuality. 676 $a636.089274 701 $aPas$b M.
