Abstract

The number and the thickness of muscular fibres together with the content of interstitial tissues determine the quantitative and qualitative mass and value of the skeletal muscles and meat. The growth of the transverse striations of the skeletal muscular tissues is under the influence of the variable factors. In this article the factors with the biggest tendency to influence the growth of the skeletal muscles are discussed. First of all there are genetic influences and the influence of nutrition. Next it is describing the influence of sex, movement, age, weight and last but not the least the ethological influence.
