ABSTRACT
Asgari Safdar AH.,
Effect of zilpaterol-hydrochloride on carcass
quality, myosin heavy chain and mRNA β-adrenergic receptors in cattle, Onl
J Vet Res., 26 (11): 777-787, 2022. Author describes
effect of dietary 8.38 mg/kg zilpaterol hydrochloride
(ZH), 120 mg trenbolone acetate (TBA) and 24 mg
estradiol-17β (E2) on mRNA β-adrenergic receptors I and II, calpastatin and I, IIA, and IIX myosin heavy chain
isoforms. Three groups of 24 steers per pen each, were supplemented daily for
30 days 8.4mg/kg/day ZH (1), 120 mg/kg TBA with 24 mg/kg E2 (2) or 8.4mg/kg
ZH with 120mg/kg TBA with 24 mg E2 (3). Controls were not treated (4). At
slaughter, semimembranosus muscle tissue was excised for RNA from 4 carcasses
per pen. Administration of ZH during the
last 30 days of feeding boosted (P < 0.01) ADG, G: F, HCW, and LM area;
decreased (P< 0.01) 12th rib fat depth and marbling; and improved (P <
0.01) yield grade. Treatment had no effect on β1- AR mRNA levels, but
there was an increase (P = 0.01) in β2-AR mRNA levels due to ZH inclusion.
Myosin heavy chain-I (MHC-I) mRNA levels were unaffected by treatment. Feeding ZH last 30d prior to harvest, increased (P < 0.01) mRNA
concentrations of MHC-IIX in semimembranosus muscle of steers. These
data indicate the combined use of ZH and RS may boost live and carcass gain in
finishing feedlot steers and affects mRNA MHC isoforms to faster glycolytic
fiber type in bovine skeletal muscle.
