ABSTRACT
While most meat quality traits (MQTs) are investigated in Angus
cattle (AG), the differences in MQTs and the relationship of MQTs with the gut
microbiota between AG and Xinjiang brown cattle (XBC) have not yet been well
elucidated. Fourteen heads of 24-month-old uncastrated AG and XBC males
(7 in each group) reared under identical feeding condition were selected for
MQT testing. The composition and structure of the gut microbiota were analysed
by 16S rRNA gene sequencing of rectal faecal samples. The correlation
between MQTs and the gut microbiota was analysed. The results showed
that backfat thickness of XBC was significantly lower compared to AG, and
the muscular fibre sectional area was significantly higher than that of AG.
The composition of the gut microbiota showed that the relative abundance
of the genus rc4_4 was significantly lower in XBC in relation to AG cattle
(P < 0.05) and Lefse analysis demonstrated that the family Peptostreptococcaceae
were characteristic of the XBC gut. Thirteen genera of the gut microbiota
significantly correlated with MQTs. The differential MQTs between Angus
cattle and Xinjiang brow cattle related to fat metabolism/deposition were found
to be associated with the relative abundance of certain gut microbial genera,
which could serve as potential gut microbial biomarkers to assist in improving
meat quality of Xinjiang brow cattle.

安格斯牛与新疆褐牛肉品质性状差异与肠道菌群的关系
摘要: 虽然安格斯牛（Angus cattle，AG）的大部分肉质性状（Meat quality traits，MQTs）已经被研究，但AG与新
疆褐牛（Xinjiang brown cattle，XBC）之间的MQT差异及其与肠道菌群的关系尚未得到很好的阐明。选取14头
24月龄未去势AG和XBC公牛（每组7只）在相同饲养条件下饲养，进行MQTs检测。采用16S rRNA基因测序方
法，对直肠采集的粪便样品进行菌群组成和结构分析。分析了MQTs与肠道菌群的相关性。结果表明，XBC
的背膘厚度显著低于AG，肌纤维截面积显著高于AG，肠道菌群结构组成显示XBC肠道中rc4_4属的相对丰度
显著低于AG（P < 0.05），Lefse分析表明消化链球菌科是XBC肠道中的特征菌群。与MQTs显著相关的肠道菌
群有13个属。因此，安格斯牛和新疆肉牛与脂肪代谢/沉积相关的MQTs差异与肠道菌群的相对丰度有关，可
作为辅助新疆肉牛肉质改良的潜在肠道菌群标志物。
