  • Genetic Analysis of Major Carcass Traits of Korean Hanwoo Males Raised for Thirty Months
    animals Article Genetic Analysis of Major Carcass Traits of Korean Hanwoo Males Raised for Thirty Months Mahboob Alam 1, Soo Hyun Lee 1 , Do Hyun Lee 1, Chungil Cho 2 and Mi Na Park 1,* 1 Animal Breeding and Genetics Division, National Institute of Animal Science, Cheonan-si 31000, Korea; [email protected] (M.A.); [email protected] (S.H.L.); [email protected] (D.H.L.) 2 Hanwoo Genetic Improvement Center, NongHyup Agribusiness Group Inc., Seosan-si 31948, Korea; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +82-580-3355 Simple Summary: Generally, Korean Hanwoo males produced under a 24-month production cycle (PROD24) are evaluated as a part of the progeny test program. However, there is little information on other males outside the PROD24, such as those raised under a 30-month production cycle (PROD30) for higher profits. Therefore, we investigated PROD30 males for important carcass traits (carcass weight, eye muscle area, backfat thickness, and marbling score) using a reasonably large dataset to understand their genetic merit. To do so, we estimated the genetic parameters of traits using animal model. Our analysis revealed moderate to high heritability values for the studied traits. The marbling score was found to be highly heritable at 0.56. The genetic correlation between traits was mostly moderate to low, and the backfat thickness was poorly correlated with the marbling score. These results are consistent with many previous reports on PROD24. Our study suggests that PROD30 and PROD24 males might have somewhat similar genetic potential, as well as similar genetic backgrounds. Thus, it could be concluded that there is further scope for PROD30 males to improve Hanwoo males’ overall prediction accuracy, especially under a genomic selection program, together with PROD24 males.

Email: [email protected] Abstract. Consumer responses were examined in an incomplete factorial design where Australian consumers evaluated 216 beef samples derived from 18 cattle killed in Australia and Korean consumers evaluated 216 samples from the same 18 cattle, plus 216 similar samples from 18 Korean cattle. Samples of the Mm. triceps brachii, longissimus dorsi and semimembranosus were cooked using grill and Korean barbeque methods. Each sample was sensory tested by 10 consumers, who scored it for tenderness, juiciness, like flavour, and overall liking. Consumers then graded each sample as either unsatisfactory (2 star), good every day (3 star), better than every day (4 star), or premium (5 star) quality. For those samples assessed by both Australian and Korean consumers, the Korean consumers graded a higher proportion of samples ‘unsatisfactory’ and a lower proportion of samples ‘premium’ grade product than Australian consumers.

  • Relationship Between Carcass Weight and Meat Quality and Antioxidative Dipeptides of Hanwoo (Korean Native Cattle) Beef
    RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN CARCASS WEIGHT AND MEAT QUALITY AND ANTIOXIDATIVE DIPEPTIDES OF HANWOO (KOREAN NATIVE CATTLE) BEEF Dinesh D. Jayasena1, Ki Chang Nam2, Kyung Haeng Lee3, Sun Hyo Kim1, Hae In Yong1 and Cheorun Jo1 1Department of Animal Science and Biotechnology, Chungnam National University, Daejeon, South Korea 2Department of Animal Science and Technology, Sunchon National University, Suncheon, South Korea 3Department of Food and Nutrition, Korea National University of Transportation, Jeungpyeong, South Korea Abstract – Effects of carcass weight of Hanwoo (Korean native cattle) beef on meat quality, antioxidative dipeptides, and sensory attributes were investigated. The carcasses of 250 Hanwoo steers were categorized into light (<375 kg), medium (375–425 kg), and heavy (>425 kg) groups and were evaluated for back fat thickness, rib eye area, and beef marbling score 24 h postmortem by using the Korean carcass grading system. The proximate composition, physicochemical meat quality parameters, and micronutrient components of the longissimus dorsi muscles were analyzed. Rib eye area, back fat thickness, and marbling score significantly increased with increasing carcass weight. Inosine-5′-monophosphate content was significantly higher in medium and heavy carcasses. Carnosine content was significantly higher in medium carcasses. Total saturated fatty acid content and n-6/n-3 ratio decreased as carcass weight increased. Medium and heavy carcasses had significantly higher scores for sensory quality parameters. Overall, medium carcasses of Hanwoo displayed optimal sensory and economic quality and health benefits. Key Words – Beef Quality, Carnosine, Marbling INTRODUCTION The commercialized production of Hanwoo (Korean native cattle) as meat cattle began in the 1960s, accompanying rapid economic growth in the country [1].

Thus, both the reproductive performance and growth traits play an important role in the continuous development and productivity of Hanwoo farming. Therefore, to improve beef production and the profitability of Hanwoo farming, estimations of genetic parameters for birth weight (BW) and weaning weight (WW) and their relationship with age at first calving (AFC) and gestation length (GL) are necessary to understand and improve their responses to selection. Thus, this study estimated the variance components, heritability estimates of birth weight (BW) and weaning weight (WW) and their genetic and phenotypic relationship to age at first calving (AFC), and gestation length (GL).

Abstract Hanwoo cattle (HC) being an indigenous breed are greatly adapted to Korean hot-humid climate. They can survive and thrive in harsh environmental conditions. This makes the HC a valuable genetic resource, given the challenges of climate adjustment and varying demands of the livestock sector. Respects to these genetic attributes of HC, breeding initiatives were designed for genetic improvements, such as the Hanwoo-Gaeryang-Danji (HGD) and Hanwoo-Gaeryang-Nongga (HGN), respectively. These initiatives have resulted in tremendous success in the meat industry. The genetic improvement of HC is somehow fulfilling the breeding objectives of increasing the growth performance traits, enhancing meat quality, improving fertility and maintaining adaptability. The breeding and production systems have also contributed towards achieving the breeding goal. The HC production system comprised of 3-tier, the seed stock, multiplier and feedlot sector. The production system provides a link that enable genetic material from the nucleus herd down to various sectors. The results from various studies on the evaluation of genetic improvement and parameters in Korean HC have revealed the degree of genetic progress.

  • Korea's Demand for U.S. Beef
    Web Version: Korea’s Demand for January 2013 U.S. Beef Author: John Giamalva1 Abstract This paper uses a price-adjusted index of demand to estimate the change in Korean consumers’ demand for U.S. beef from 2003 through 2011. The paper provides an overview of Korea’s consumption, production, and imports of beef over this period, which included Korea’s ban on imports of U.S. beef following discovery of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) in the U.S. cattle herd in December 2003, the signing of the U.S.-Korea Beef Protocol in April 2008, and the subsequent recovery of U.S. beef imports. The paper also includes back- ground information on BSE and Korean consumers’ perceptions of the safety of U.S. beef. Korean demand for U.S. beef is estimated to have increased substan- tially since 2009 (the first full year after signing of the Beef Protocol), but in 2011 remained well below the level observed in 2003.

  • Effects of Flaxseed Diets on Fattening Response of Hanwoo Cattle : 1
    1241 Effects of Flaxseed Diets on Fattening Response of Hanwoo Cattle : 1. Performance and Carcass Characteristics C. M. Kim, J. H. Kim, T. Y. Chung and K. K. Park* Animal Resources Research Center, College of Animal Husbandry, Konkuk University, 1 Hwayang-dong Gwangjin-gu, Seoul, 143-701, Korea ABSTRACT : Two separate trials were conducted to determine effects of dietary level of whole flaxseed (WFS; 0, 10 and 15%) on feed intake, weight gain, and carcass yield and quality of Korean Hanwoo cattle. The daily gains of bulls (Trial 1) were not different among treatment groups, but those of cows (Trial 2) fed WFS 15% were higher (p<0.01) than others. Feed intake of both bulls and cows tended to decrease as dietary level of WFS increased. However, feed conversion ratio (feed/gain) of bulls tended to be improved by dietary inclusion of WFS and was significantly improved (p<0.01) in cows by increasing level of WFS. Neither carcass weight nor dressing percentage were affected by WFS level. Back fat thickness of bulls was decreased (p<0.01) by dietary inclusion of WFS and the same trend was observed in cows without statistical significance. Loin-eye area of bulls was not different among treatment groups but was significantly higher (p<0.01) in cows fed WFS. Carcass yield and quality were not improved by WFS addition. The results indicate that WFS is an acceptable fat source in diets of finishing beef cattle to increase energy density without any adverse effects. (Asian-Aust. J. Anim. Sci. 2004. Vol 17, No.
