Figure 2

Changes in muscle fiber number throughout the five developmental stages in Texel and Ujumqin sheep. Longissimus dorsi muscle fiber number was examined in cross sections using hematoxylin and eosin staining. At least three animals were used to analyze each development stage in each breed. Photomicrographs of five to eight randomly selected areas were used to calculate the total number of myofibers in each cross section of muscle examined.
