Phenotypic and genetic variation of ultraviolet–visible-infrared spectral wavelengths of bovine meat

Abstract Spectroscopic predictions can be used for the genetic improvement of meat quality traits in cattle. No information is however available on the genetics of meat absorbance spectra. This research investigated the phenotypic variation and the heritability of meat absorbance spectra at individu...
