[QUOTE="MikeC, post: 291469, member: 1604"] Your bias is showing again: [b]Despite this, carcass marbling was similar for both the double-muscled and control steers, supporting the view that while double muscling results in less external carcass fat, it does not adversely affect marbling. This is important since marbling is believed to have a role in determining the palatability of beef. [/b] [b]The study indicates that Piedmontese and Parthenais steers put on much less backfat without reducing the amount of muscle marbling.[/b] These breeds have adrenal and thyroid hormone concentrations that are different from those of normally muscled cattle, an indication that the mutated myostatin gene may be expressing itself through these hormonal systems to alter muscular development and fat deposition in these cattle.
