More specifically, patterns of growth are briefly described and an overview of the biology of carcass tissue growth and development is provided. Regulation of compositional characteristics by nutrition, genotype and metabolic modifiers is also reviewed. Finally, future trends in research relating to the regulation of carcass composition and meat production are discussed. | Publication Type: | Book Chapter | Source of Publication: | Improving the sensory and nutritional quality of fresh meat, p. 19-60 | Publisher: | Woodhead Publishing | Place of Publication: | Cambridge, United Kingdom | ISBN: | 9781845693435 9781845695439 9781420077902 |
