This invention discloses a molecular marker for superovulation in cattle using the EXOC4 gene and its application method, belonging to the field of animal genetic engineering technology. By conducting correlation analysis between EXOC4 gene polymorphism and the effect of superovulation in cattle, the single nucleotide polymorphism at a specific site of the EXOC4 gene and its accurate identification method were clarified, and the influence of this site's genetic polymorphism on the effect of superovulation in cattle was determined. This provides an important theoretical basis and application prospect for using it as a molecular marker for auxiliary selection of bovine reproductive performance and applying it to genetic improvement in actual production.

This utility model discloses a calf rearing device for Wagyu cattle breeding, belonging to the field of calf rearing. It aims to solve the problem that, under existing technology, Wagyu calves experience rapid size changes during growth. To ensure comfortable milk suckling, the hanging height of the hanging feeding bucket needs to be adjusted according to the calf's height. However, adjusting the hanging position of the feeding bucket usually requires reinstalling hooks at different heights on the railing and removing the previous hooks to prevent calves from accidentally touching and being scratched. This process is not only cumbersome, requiring farmers to spend a lot of time and energy on multiple installations and disassemblies, but also prone to damaging the railing and shortening the equipment's lifespan. The device includes a base, with a fixed frame welded to the upper side. The fixed frame has rearing mechanisms at both its inner and outer ends, and each rearing mechanism includes an adjusting block connected to the outer end of the fixed frame.

An embodiment relates to a meat grade determination method using an artificial intelligence model. The method includes generating a training data set including training meat images for at least one of Korean pork, Korean beef, and beef cattle, and grade information corresponding to the training meat images; and generating an artificial intelligence model trained, based on the training data set, to determine a grade of meat included in an input meat image.
