This study was carried out to discriminate Hanwoo from the milking and hybrid cattle by detection of MC1R gene related to bovine hair color. One hundred sixty six samples were collected from the abattoir (n = 106) and local market (n = 60). The beef from abattoir were originated from Hanwoo (n=27), Holstein (n=29), Hybrid (n=45) and imported cattle (n=5), respectively. The beef from market consisted of Hanwoo (n=36), Holstein (n=7) and imported ones (n=17). Commercialized screening kit (Kogenebiotec, Korea) was used for MC1R gene analysis. As a result, Hanwoo was discriminated from Holstein. However, 9 of 45 hybrid and 11 of 22 imported beef samples were indistinguishable from Hanwoo. It could be explained by second generation of crossing of Hanwoo with Holstein or the cattle with silver or yellow hair. This results suggest that additional tests as well as MC1R gene detection be needed to confirm Hanwoo beef among cattle beef.

Purpose: The objective of this study was to investigate the quality characteristics of pork and beef meat according to species (pork: modern genotype pork, Korean native black pork; beef: Holstein, Korean native cattle) and cuts (pork: shoulder, ham, loin; beef: loin, tenderness, round). Methods: The moisture content, protein content, fat content, ash content, fatty acid compositions pH, whater holding capacity, cooking loss, shear force, color, and sensory characteristics were measured in triplicate. Results: The moisture content, pH, cooking loss, and shear force of modern genotype pork were significantly higher than the Korean native black pork; in addition, the moisture content of loin was significantly higher than shoulder and ham. The fatty acid compositions for different parts of pork showed no significant differences. Among the sensory characteristics, the parameters of pork were not significantly different. The moisture content of Holstein was significantly higher than Korean native cattle. The fatty acid composition of beef could not confirm the specific differences. Water holding capacity of Korean native cattle was higher than Holstein, while cooking loss of Korean native cattle was lower than Holstein. Overall acceptability scores of Korean native cattle was higher than Holstein. Conclusion: The study results of several parameters in selected raw meat samples provide useful information for developing new strategies to improve the quality of meat products consumption.

본 연구는 축우의 모색발현에 관여하는 MC1R, MGF 및 TYRP1 3종류의 모색 유전자의 PCR-RFLP marker를 이용하여 쇠고기 품종 판별기술을 개발하고자 수행하였다. MC1R 유전자의 104번째 아미노산을 지정하는 codon에 GGT 염기를 갖고 있는 Holstein 젖소와 Angus 육우는 제한효소 인지부위가 존재하여 537 bp증폭산물이 절단되어 329와 208bp 두개의 band가 검출되었으나 한우에서는 GTG로 G 염기가 T염기로 치환됨으로써 제한효소 인식부위가 소실되어 537 bp의 단일 bind 만이 검출되었다. 따라서, 이처럼 MC1R 모색유전자의 품종 간 특정 염기서열의 차이가 곧 특정 제한효소의 염기 서열상의 인지 부위 차이를 가져와 한우와 Holstein 젖소 및 Angus 육우 품종간의 RFLP 유전자형 출현에 확실한 차이가 인정되어 한우 품종에 특이적인 MC1R 유전자의 RFLP marker를 이용한 한우육 판별이 가능하였다. 또한, MGF 유전자의 RFLP 유전자형 출현빈도에서 한우는 r/r형이 75％로 출현율이 매우 높은 유전자형으로 분석된 반면 Hereford종은 R/R 형이 80％로 출현율이 매우 높았고 Holstein종과 Angus종은 R/r형이 100％ 출현함으로써 한우와 Holstein 및 수입육우 품종간의 MGF 유전자형 출현빈도에 뚜렷한 차이가 인정되었다. 한편, TYRP1 유전자의 RFLP유전자형을 분석한 결과 모든 품종에서 동일한 RFLP type이 검출되어 TYRP1 모색 유전자를 이용한 쇠고기 품종 구별은 불가능한 것으로 나타났다. 따라서, 소 모색 관련 MC1R과 MGF 두 유전자의 품종 특이적 PCR-RFLP 유전자형은 한우육과 국내산 Holstein젖소고기 및 Angus 수입육간의 품종을 식별하는데 매우 유용한 DNA marker로 이용될 수 있음이 확인되었다.

Bovine genome samples were collected from meat of three different beef breeds (Hanwoo, Holstein and imported beef breed) that are commercially merchandized in Korean beef market. Operon B (OPB)-kits were used as random primers (3, 7, 10, 11, 12, 14) in random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) method on whole genome. Each primer provided characteristic bands that were highly polymorphic. Each single primer could provide relatively efficient polymorphic band patterns among breeds. However, use of two or more primers in combination is recommended to improve resolution of experiments with higher molecular weight bands of DNA. In our experiments, OPB-11 resolved well between beef cattle breeds and Holstein. And OPB-7, 12 and 14 could be combined with OPB-11 to identify Hanwoo beef from the other two kinds of beef.

Breed differences in adult animals are determined during fetal development. If interventions are to be developed that influence growth of muscle and fat, it is important to know at which time during gestation breed differences appear and are fixed. The objective of this study was to characterize fetal development in cattle of different breeds. Pregnant cows of 4 cattle breeds with different growth impetus and muscularity were slaughtered under normal processing conditions and the fetuses were removed. German Angus, a typical beef cattle; Galloway, a smaller, environmentally resistant beef type; Holstein Friesian, a dairy type; and Belgian Blue, an extreme type for muscle growth were used. Fetuses of each breed were investigated at 3, 6, and 9 mo of gestation. Fetuses were weighed and dissected into carcass, organs, and muscles. Body fat weight was obtained using the Soxhlet extraction method. Fetal weight increased most rapidly in the third trimester of gestation mainly due to the accelerated muscle and fat deposition. The organ weight to body weight (BW) ratios decreased and the muscle and fat weight to BW ratios increased. At 3 mo of gestation, Galloway fetuses had the significantly smallest BW, half-carcass weight, leg weight, organ weight, muscle weight and shortest leg length. In contrast, Holstein fetuses had the significantly greatest BW, liver, kidney, and lung weights and significantly longest leg length among the 4 breeds, but no differences between Holstein Friesian and Belgian Blue were detected in half-carcass and leg weight. Indeed, Belgian Blue fetuses had the significantly greatest half-carcass weight, leg weight, and muscle weight at 9 mo of gestation, and Galloway had a significantly greater body fat to BW ratio than Holstein Friesian and Belgian Blue. These differences were not evident at 3 and 6 mo of gestation. These data show that the profound increase of tissue and organ weights occurred in later gestation in cattle fetuses even though breed differences were evident as early as 3 mo of gestation. Depending on the tissue of interest, impacting fetal growth likely needs to occur early in gestation before the appearance of breed-specific differences.

Objective: The objective of this study was to compare growth performance, carcass traits and meat quality in young bulls, steers and heifers produced by crossing Limousin bulls with Holstein-Friesian cows, fattened semi-intensively and slaughtered at 18 months of age. Methods: Thirty-one young calves were reared in a conventional production system, and were fed milk replacer, hay and concentrate. At 6 months of age, the animals were divided into groups based on gender, and were fed a total mixed ration composed of grass silage, concentrates I and II in a semi-intensive production system. At the end of the fattening period (18 months), the animals were slaughtered, carcass quality was evaluated, and samples of musculus longissimus thoracis were collected to determine the proximate composition and quality of meat. Results: Bulls were characterized by the highest percentage share of the most valuable cuts in the carcass, and three-rib sections from bull carcasses had the highest lean meat content with low intramuscular fat content (0.93%). No significant differences in carcass conformation, dressing percentage or the percentage share of round in the right half-carcass were found between bulls vs. steers and heifers. Heifers and steers had higher carcass fat content than bulls, which had a positive influence on the sensory properties of beef. In comparison with the meat of bulls, the meat of steers and heifers was characterized by more desirable physical properties and sensory attributes (water-holding capacity, shear force, color lightness, aroma, juiciness, tenderness, flavor). Conclusion: Under the semi-intensive production system, heifers and steers had higher carcass fat content than bulls, which had a positive effect on the sensory properties of beef. Bulls are better suited for intensive systems, which contribute to improving the quality of their meat. The results of this study may encourage producers to breed steers and heifers for beef.

소 품종 판별을 위해 DNA 마커 정보는 품종을 구별하거나, 형질을 구분하는데 있어 꾸준히 이용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 Finnzymes (DIAGNOSTICS)사의 Bovine Genotypes Kit Ver1.1/2.1을 농촌진흥청 국립축산과학원이 보유한 호주산 및 미국산 수입우 DNA 샘플 148두/국내산 육우 DNA 샘플(Holstein) 170두와 정읍지역 한우 DNA 샘플 177두에 적용하여 한우품종 식별력을 분석 하였다. Bovine Genotype Kit 1.1은 11개의 ISAG MS 마커로 이루어져 있으며, 여기에 5개 MS 마커가 추가된 ver2.1 Kit를 사용하여 집단별 유전자형 데이타를 구축하였고, MS Tool kit 분석 및 Phylip program 분석을 수행하여 Phylogenetic tree를 작성하였고, Genotype 분석 프로그램인 GeneClass 2.0 (INRA/France)을 이용하여 품종 식별력을 추정하였다. 분석 결과 95% 이상의 정확성을 가진 한우 식별력은 100%로 나타났고, 호주산 수입우 95.3%, 국내산 육우는 90%의 높은 식별력을 각각 나타내었다. 따라서 Finnzymes 사의 상용화된 16종의 MS 마커는 한우집단의 유전적 특징을 객관적으로 구분하여 수입쇠고기/젖소고기/한우쇠고기에서 간편하게 한우개체 및 품종식별에 활용될 수 있는 가능성과 특히 국내에서 비육된 육우(젖소)를 수입산 쇠고기로부터 식별할 수 있는 장점이 있을 것으로 사료된다.

This paper describes the differentiation between native Korean cattle (Hanwoo) and Holsteins or imported cattle using the real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) by targeting the sequence of the melanocortin 1 receptor (MC1R) gene. A rapid and accurate method was developed to identify Hanwoo by genotyping the DNA extracted from 295 commercial beef samples (obtained from 5 provinces in South Korea) labeled as Hanwoo beef. The results of real-time PCR assays for the proportions of Hanwoo were 84, 85.7, 95, 91.4, and 90% in the areas of Seoul, Joongbu, Youngnam, Honam, and Chungcheong, respectively. Thus, the beef samples from 295 butcher shops, which asserted to only sell Hanwoo, showed that 259 of 295 samples were of the Hanwoo beef gene type (T-type) and 36 of 295 samples were Holsteins of imported dairy cattle gene types (C-type or C/T type). In conclusion, the proportion of Hanwoo beef was 87.8% and the proportion of Holstein or imported dairy cattle meat was 12.2% (C-type: 9.8%, C/T-type: 2.4%). Generally, most consumers can not differentiate imported meat from Hanwoo beef. Therefore, Hanwoo beef and imported dairy cattle meat that is sold in butcher shops should have mandatory identification by using MC1R genotyping based on real-time PCR.
