The animals were progeny from Hereford dams sired by Angus, Belgian Blue, Hereford, Jersey, Limousin, South Devon and Wagyu. Fatty acid composition of the triacylglycerol fraction at both stages was measured by gas-liquid chromatography. Estimates of heritability and genetic and phenotypic correlations at weaning and slaughter were computed by restricted maximum likelihood using a sire model in both univariate and multivariate analyses. Results indicated that generally, there were strong, positive genetic correlations between fatty acids at weaning and slaughter (as high as 0.98). Phenotypic correlations were however, low and poor (0.04 to 0.44). Heritability (h2) estimates at weaning were low to moderate, ranging from 0.0 to 0.31. However, at slaughter, h2 estimates were generally higher than at weaning: Stearate, oleate and total monounsaturates had h2 estimates of 0.43, 0.37 and 0.40, respectively. Other carcass traits such as marbling score and melting point of fat had h2 estimates of 0.20 and 0.52, respectively. Significant breed, sex and location differences in fatty acid composition were also observed at weaning and slaughter.

The animals were progeny from Hereford dams sired by Angus, Belgian Blue, Hereford, Jersey, Limousin, South Devon and Wagyu. Fatty acid composition of the triacylglycerol fraction at both stages was measured by gas-liquid chromatography. Estimates of heritability and genetic and phenotypic correlations at weaning and slaughter were computed by restricted maximum likelihood using a sire model in both univariate and multivariate analyses. Results indicated that generally, there were strong, positive genetic correlations between fatty acids at weaning and slaughter (as high as 0.98). Phenotypic correlations were however, low and poor (0.04 to 0.44). Heritability (h2) estimates at weaning were low to moderate, ranging from 0.0 to 0.31. However, at slaughter, h2 estimates were generally higher than at weaning: Stearate, oleate and total monounsaturates had h2 estimates of 0.43, 0.37 and 0.40, respectively. Other carcass traits such as marbling score and melting point of fat had h2 estimates of 0.20 and 0.52, respectively. Significant breed, sex and location differences in fatty acid composition were also observed at weaning and slaughter. </p></div><table style="margin-bottom: 1em" border="0" cellpadding="3" class="not_ep_block"><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Item Type:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row">Article</td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Additional Information:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row">The definitive version is available at www.blackwell-synergy.com </td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Keywords:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row">Fatty acids, Genetic parameters, Beef cattle, Weaning, Slaughter</td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Subjects:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row"><a href="http://eprints.utas.edu.au/view/subjects/270207.html">270000 Biological Sciences > 270200 Genetics > 270207 Quantitative Genetics</a><br /><a href="http://eprints.utas.edu.au/view/subjects/300401.html">300000 Agricultural, Veterinary and Environmental Sciences > 300400 Animal Production > 300401 Animal Breeding</a><br /><a href="http://eprints.utas.edu.au/view/subjects/270603.html">270000 Biological Sciences > 270600 Physiology > 270603 Animal Physiology - Systems</a><br /><a href="http://eprints.utas.edu.au/view/subjects/270101.html">270000 Biological Sciences > 270100 Biochemistry and Cell Biology > 270101 Analytical Biochemistry</a></td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Collections:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row">UNSPECIFIED</td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">ID Code:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row">652</td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Deposited By:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row"><span class="ep_name_citation"><span class="person_name">Dr Aduli E.O.
