Why test for myostatin?

The DNA test for Myostatin identifies the point mutation that renders the myostatin gene inactive and causes the "double-muscling" phenotype of Piedmontese cattle. Full-blood Piedmontese cattle have two copies of the inactive myostatin gene and are often referred to as "Two Copy" individuals. Animals that have only one copy of inactive myostatin look normal but produce meatier carcasses with less fat than individuals with the normal myostatin gene.

^ Return to top How will myostatin results be reported? Test results of individuals that possess two copies of the Piedmontese myostatin mutation will be reported as Pied-Two Copy. Individuals with one copy of the mutation will be reported as Pied-One Copy.

Likewise, individuals that possess two copies of the normal myostatin gene will be identified as Pied-Zero Copy. ^ Return to top What are the approximate turn-around times for myostatin and parentage test results? Parentage and myostatin testing are performed on a monthly basis.
