Abstract

Postnatal muscle hypertrophy of beef cattle is the result of enhanced myofibrillar protein synthesis and reduced protein turnover. Skeletal muscle hypertrophy has been studied in cattle fed ${\beta}$-adrenergic agonists (${\beta}$-AA), which are receptor-mediated enhancers of protein synthesis and inhibitors of protein degradation. Feeding ${\beta}$-AA to beef cattle increases longissimus muscle cross-sectional area 6% to 40% compared to non-treated cattle. The ${\beta}$-AA have been reported to improve live animal performance, including average daily gain, feed efficiency, hot carcass weight, and dressing percentage. Treatment with ${\beta}$-AA increased mRNA concentration of the ${\beta}_2$ or ${\beta}_1$-adrenergic receptor and myosin heavy chain IIX in bovine skeletal muscle tissue. This review will examine the effects of skeletal muscle and adipose development with ${\beta}$-AA, and will interpret how the use of ${\beta}$-AA affects performance, body composition, and growth in beef cattle.
