Asked 29th Jul, 2023

How do the Stearoyl-CoA Desaturase (SCD) and Adiponectin (ADIPOQ) genes influence the fatty acid profiles and meat tenderness in buffalo meat?

I, Jafar Sumanta Munte, a undergraduated student from the Department of Animal Production and Technology at IPB University, am conducting a research study on buffalo meat quality. In this study, I aim to investigate the influence of two essential genes, Stearoyl-CoA Desaturase (SCD) and Adiponectin (ADIPOQ), on the fatty acid profiles and meat tenderness of buffalo. Understanding the genetic mechanisms underlying these meat quality traits could have significant implications for buffalo breeding and meat production.
I am excited to share my findings with the research community and seek valuable insights and collaborations from fellow researchers on this platform. Your expertise and contributions will be greatly appreciated in enriching this research. Thank you for considering my study and engaging in constructive discussions.

Only very recently buffaloes have been studied deeper for a better breeding and for emphasizing their meat productive potentiality and its physiological, chemical and organolptic qualities. Very good investigations, conducted mainly in Australia, Bulgaria, Italy, Thailand and Trinidad show in an univocal way, if the buffaloes are reared and fed wel...
