Transcriptomic signatures in response to antioxidants supplementation in Korean cattle beef, <i>Hanwoo</i>: a 7-month feeding study.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The present study investigated the effects of antioxidant supplementation on the transcriptomic profiles of Hanwoo cattle during a 7-month feeding trial.

Methods

Twelve castrated Hanwoo cattle were randomly assigned to two groups: a control group (CON) and a group supplemented with antioxidants (FEED), consisting of vitamin C, vitamin E, and selenium. Growth performance and carcass traits were evaluated, and liver transcriptomic changes were assessed using RNA sequencing.

Results and discussion

While no significant differences were observed in phenotypic traits such as weight gain and feed conversion ratio, transcriptomic analysis identified 641 differentially expressed genes between the CON and FEED groups. Functional enrichment analysis re
