Determining the efficacy of a biosensor to detect calpastatin, a meat tenderness indicator
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
An instrumental tenderness detection system used at the time of grading to sort beef carcasses on their predicted tenderness would be valuable for the beef industry. A biosensor to accurately predict calpastatin, the ...
Genetics in practice : applications of quantitative genetics to environment and educational pursuits
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
"The ability to elucidate quantitative trait architecture and introduce potentially beneficial traits makes introgression a useful tool. Unfortunately, due to the nature of inheritance there are certainly limitations to ...
Digestible lysine and threonine requirements of male turkeys and their effects on performance of male turkeys fed practical diets to market age
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
Seven experiments were conducted to determine the minimum requirements of digestible lysine (dLys) and digestible threonine (dThr) from 1 to 21 weeks of age for male turkeys. Requirement values were similar to NRC (1994) ...
Applications of ancestry estimation in cattle population genetics
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
Accounting for ancestry and cryptic population structure is important in population genetic data analysis. The estimation of ancestry can help elucidate the effects of admixture or stratification on allele and genotype ...
