Abstract: This paper will introduce some genes that associate with livestock growth rate by using the candidate gene method and achievement, these gene can be divided into three category which include nucleus-encoded mitochondrial genes and genes related to fat metabolism, some other genes that have influence on beef quality properties were also mentioned. Rely on the results from different kinds of livestock, aims to find advantage genotype of improve beef growth rate, for the development beef cattle breeding scale of Ningxia region and improve the national beef cattle production.

Key words:

beef; growth rate; candidate genes
