Abstract (en)

[origin: NZ564763A] Provided is a method for identifying a bovine animal having desirable marbling, sub-cutaneous fat depth, or a combination thereof, as compared to the general population of bovine animals, comprising: (a) obtaining a biological sample from said bovine animal, said biological sample comprising nucleic acids encoding the bovine fatty acid binding protein ("FABP4") gene from said bovine; (b) detecting in said nucleic acids the presence of: (i) a C in one or both alleles of the FABP4 gene at position corresponding to position 7516; or (ii) a C in one or both alleles of the FABP4 gene at position corresponding to position 7713; and (c) correlating the presence of the nucleic acid content of (b) with desirable marbling, sub-cutaneous fat depth, or a combination thereof in said bovine animal. Further provided are interactive computer systems for tracking the rearing of bovines.
