Two beef cattle DNA-marker trials in New Zealand and Australia are reviewed, where the trial objectives were to identify DNA markers for carcass composition and meat quality traits. The collaborative beef cattle project between AgResearch and Adelaide University is described in detail, and reference is also made to published data from the Australian ‘Cooperative Research Centre (CRC) for Meat Quality’ DNA-marker study. In the Beef CRC, F1 Charolais x Brahman bulls were mated to composite dams to breed experimental offspring. The AgResearch/ Adelaide study used two extreme breeds, Jersey and Limousin, with F1 Jersey x Limousin bulls mated to produce both backcrosses in both New Zealand and Australia. Detailed information is presented here fr...
