This review identifies candidate genes that enhance meat production in sheep, suggesting potential improvements in carcass and meat quality.

Genetic basis of meat production phenotypic traits in sheep is explored through recent literature.
Key potential genes like MSTN and ADIPOQ are linked to carcass quality and muscle development.
The review synthesizes data from genome-wide studies and candidate gene approaches for diverse sheep breeds.
This genetic marker catalog supports marker-assisted selection, improving breeding efficiency for meat production.

Han et al. (2025) studied this question.
