Author(s): A.M. Ramos, K.L. Glenn, T.V. Serenius, K.J. Stalder & M.F. Rothschild
Publication Date: January 1, 2008
Reference: Journal of Animal Breeding Genetics 125 (2008) 248–257
Country: USA

Summary:

The objective of this study was to determine the effect of candidate genes on processing quality traits of US country hams. Results showed that two genetic markers were significantly associated with cured weight and
yield: (i) a gene from the cathepsin family (cathepsin F) and (ii) the stearoyl- CoA desaturase (delta-9-desaturase) gene, involved in lipid metabolism.
