| Résumé : |
Because of the relatively high efficiency with which they produce lean meat, two breeds of cattle which exhibit a high frequency of muscle hypertrophy (mh, commonly referred to as "double muscling"), viz., Piedmontese and Belgian Blue, are being considered for commercial breeding as beef animals. Double muscling results from a genetic deficiency of myostatin, the protein which normally regulates, i.e., limits, muscle growth. Since "double-muscled" animals have a somewhat larger than normal physique, and since the effect of myostatin deficiency is reasonably presumed to include hypertrophy of muscle tissue in the hide, it became important to determine whether the hides of such animals are affected by the condition and would yield leather with unusual, e.g., deficient, physical characteristics. To address this question the physical characteristics of leathers made from the hides of homozygous normal (+/+), homozygous myostatin deficient (mh/mh), and heterozygous (+/mh) cattle were compared to each other. No significant differences between the groups were found, except that leather made from mh/mh cattle had a slightly greater stiffness than leather made from +/+ cattle. Double muscling thus poses no threat of harm (or promise of substantial benefit) to the leather manufacturer which would require monitoring hides from animals endowed with this condition. |
