Popis:	Trials conducted at the University of California (Davis) demonstrated the feasibility of producing market calves heterozygous for the double-muscling gene. On average, these calves compared to normal calves reached market weight at an earlier age, had carcasses with significantly more lean meat and lower quality grade, but with a negligible difference in meat acceptability, as shown by taste panel evaluations.
