Abstract

Eleven growing one-humped male camels with an average initial body weight of 251.36±6.97 kg were used. After finishing period of 5-month, camels were approximately 2.5 years of age with an average body weight of 359±1 kg. This study aimed to evaluate association analyses between identified SNPs in myogenic factor 5 (MYF5) and growth hormone (GH) genes and live body measurements, carcass merits and meat quality of one humped camel were performed. One region of MYF5 and two regions of GH (GH3UTR and GH5UTR) genes were tested to identify the SNPs in one humped camel. The results shown that detected SNPs in MYF5 and GH had a significant influence on several body measurements, carcass characteristic, histological traits, and chemical composition. The three regions were found to associate with several meat characteristics, and it is recommended that could be used as a candidate gene to characterize meat of dromedary camels. More researches are required to confirm the influence of MYF5 and GH genes on meat quantity and quality of camels.
