A terminal-sire index for selecting rams was developed. It combines genetic evaluations for growth traits and carcass characteristics measured ultrasonically on live animals into a single criterion. Weightings for component traits are averages from the indexes of four slightly different breeding goals, determined using economic values and parameters from the literature. The weightings for breeding values of component traits are -1.45 for birth weight, +1.86 for weight at 50 d of age, +2.27 for gain from 50 to 100 d, -0.51 for ultrasonic fat depth, and +1.36 for ultrasonic loin muscle depth, in phenotypic standard deviation units. Selection that is based on the index will increase growth while simultaneously decreasing fat and increasing muscle. Key words: Breeding strategies, carcass characteristics, growth, selection, sheep

Calpastatin is one of gene markers affecting meat tenderness. The study aimed to evaluate genetic variation of calpastatin (CAST) gene of Bali cattle (Bos javanicus) in lndonesia. A total of 61 samples consisting of 21 Bali cattle, 22 Ongole cattle (Bos indicus), and 18 Friesian Holstein (FH) cattle (Bos taurus) were applied. The Ongole and FH cattle were involved for breed comparison. DNA was extracted from fresh blood using a High Salt method and measured their quality by a Spectrophotometer. A 523 bp of Calpastatin gene fragment was amplified by Polymerase Chain Reaction and Restriction Fragment Polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) technique with RsaI restriction enzyme for genotyping. Result showed that two variants alleles (C and G) and three genotypes (CC, GC, GG) were found in those Bali, Ongole and FH samples. Allele G was dominant allele with the highest G allele was in Bali cattle population (0.88). The higher percentage of allele C was found in Ongole and Friesian Holstein compared to that in Bali cattle. The Ongole breed tends to have a potential source of lean meat quality. This finding identified that genetic variation of CAST gene was exist in Bali cattle and adapted cattle of Ongole and FH in Indonesian.

This research aims to develop a method for selection based on myostatin gene markers. The experiment was conducted in Bali cattle. Blood samples were collected from 100 cattle irrespective of age. PCR-RFLP was applied with primers for amplifying the 1346bp of the Myostatin gene were (F) 5’-CCCTACAGAGGCCACTTCAA-3’ and (R) 5’-CTCGCTGTTCTCATTCAGATC-3’, sand HaeIII restriction enzymes. PCR-RFLP results showed that not all genotypes present in the population, despite populations that were observed quite polymorphic (PIC = 49.5%) with the conditions of gene frequencies. The results showed that almost all variables influenced by myostatin genotype where the genotype BB is better, except the chest girth showed a better result in genotype AB. It suggested that MSTN is strong candidate gene that influenced growth traits. Moreover, it is also expected that this MSTN could be used in marker-assisted selection.

A population of 174 hybrid bulls was used to evaluate pre- and postweaning growth and carcass characteristics of crosses involving Angus, Hereford, and Holstein dams and Angus, Hereford, Brown Swiss, Charolais, and Shorthorn sires. Progeny of Holstein dams excelled (P < 0.01) for pre- and postweaning growth traits. Breed of sire differences were generally nonsignificant except for growth rate in the feedlot. Dressing percentage was not influenced by breed of dam or sire. Hide weight was least for progeny of Holstein dams and greatest for progeny of Hereford dams and sires (P < 0.01). Holstein and Brown Swiss crosses had a higher proportion of bone (P < 0.01), a greater proportion of chuck and round, and a lower proportion of rib and sirloin than crosses from the British breeds. Area of rib eye was influenced by breed of dam but not breed of sire. British breed crosses had the greatest and Holstein, Brown Swiss, and Charolais crosses the least rib fat (P < 0.01). Total deboned–defatted lean yield of the carcass was least for the British breed crosses. Breed crosses did not differ in ether extract values from the longissimus dorsi but British breed crosses showed the greatest degree of marbling. No breed of sire or breed of dam differences were detected in tenderness of the longissimus dorsi, either by Warner-Bratzler or taste-panel evaluation, but significant breed of sire–breed of dam interactions were evident for these traits. Progeny of Hereford dams were more efficient (P < 0.01) than progeny of Holstein dams in converting feed to liveweight gain. This tended to negate the Holstein-cross advantage in growth rate and lean content, and there were no breed of dam differences in energy requirements per unit of lean produced. For the breed of sire comparisons, calves from the British breeds required the greatest energy intake per unit of lean product (P < 0.05).

Abstract. Jakaria, Ulum MF, Lestari D, Akwila S, Sihite DEWT, Priyanto R, Muladno, Sumantri C. 2020. Investigating new SNPs of CAST, CAPN and SCD genes in 5’UTR of Bali cattle. Biodiversitas 21: 2971-2976. The present investigation aims to explore specific SNPs of Bali cattle, focusing mainly on CAST, CAPN, and SCD genes in 5'UTR. DNA of Bali cattle (25 individuals) from Breeding Centre of Bali cattle in Bali Province, Indonesia, were extracted according to the protocol of GenAID. Amplification of the CAST, CAPN, and SCD genes were designed using the Primer3 program based on reference sequences (access numbers AH014526.2, AH009246.3, and AY241932). Furthermore, the PCR product was sequenced through forward primer sequencing. The data sequence results were analyzed using the Bioedit, MEGA7, Popgen 3.2, and DnaSP6 V6 programs. The results showed that SNPs were detected at g.921C>T and g.922T>G in 5'UTR for the CAST gene between the reference of GenBank AH014526.2 and Bali cattle, but it was monomorphic within the population. The high polymorphism of SNPs was found in g.232G>T for the CAPN gene and g.134A>del for the SCD gene. However, the SNP g.246C>del SCD gene was detected as monomorphic in this region. Moreover, this result shows that low nucleotide diversities (Pi) for CAST, CAPN, and SCD genes in 5'UTR of Bali cattle were 0.00422, 0.00632, and 0.00449, respectively. This finding was important for developing marker-assisted selection (MAS) to improve the meat quality of Bali cattle.
