Abstract / Description of output

Several breeding strategies that can affect carcass composition and meat quality are reviewed in this article. These include: (1) selection between breeds within species; (2) crossbreeding to combine desirable characteristics from more than one breed or strain, or to exploit heterosis in crossbred progeny; and (3) genetic selection of superior breeding stock within a breed. Genetic influences on carcass and meat quality and selection programs designed to improve these traits are discussed.
