This chapter provides an overview of the generally accepted understanding of the biology and regulation of carcass composition. More specifically, patterns of growth are briefly described and an overview of the biology of carcass tissue growth and development is provided. Regulation of compositional characteristics by nutrition, genotype and metabolic modifiers is also reviewed. Finally, future trends in research relating to the regulation of carcass composition and meat production are discussed.
