Abstract
There were no differences in proportion or sizes of myofiber types in longi ssimus from 2-wk-old lambs of the callipyge and normal genotypes. In 8-wk o ld lambs, the type I ovine myofibers were oxidative, the majority of type I IA myofibers were glycolytic, and the majority of type IIB myofibers were o xidative.
