Musculoskeletal System
Research
Basic aspects of the musculoskeletal system
involve the study of organ systems, cellular,
and molecular approaches to enhance muscle
growth and reduce fat deposition, thereby
improving the quality and quantity of meat
produced by agricultural animals. CSREES
funds aspects of development of the musculoskeletal
system of food animals and supports the
efforts of the land-grant partnership in
developing applications from this research.
