Predicting beef carcass composition using tissue weights of a primal cut assessed by computed tomography.
The potential of the composition of the forerib measured by X-ray computed tomography (CT) as a predictor of carcass composition was evaluated using data recorded on 30 Aberdeen Angus and 43 Limousin crossbred heifers and steers. The left sides of the carcasses were split into 20 cuts, which were CT scanned and fully dissected into fat, muscle and bone. Carcass and forerib tissue weights were a...
متن کاملEvaluation of Temperament and Transportation Stress on Body Composition Traits and Meat Quality in Beef Cattle
Stressors can be psychological (restraint, handling, or novelty) or physical (hunger, thirst, fatigue, injury, or thermal extremes) (Grandin, 1997). Temperament has been associated with stress responsiveness in which higher concentrations of cortisol have been correlated with temperament of cattle (Curley et al., 2006; King et al., 2006). In addition, Smith and Grandin (1999) reported that appr...

متن کاملdetection of foreign bodies by spiral computed tomography and cone beam computed tomography in maxillofacial regions
background and aims. the imaging techniques commonly used for foreign body detection include plain radiography, xeroradiography, computed tomography (ct) scans, magnetic resonance imaging (mri) and ultrasonography. the aim of the present study was to compare cone-beam computed tomography (cbct) with conventional ct scan in determination of the exact location of a foreign body in the maxillofaci...
متن کاملGenome scan for meat quality traits in Nelore beef cattle.
Meat quality traits are economically important because they affect consumers' acceptance, which, in turn, influences the demand for beef. However, selection to improve meat quality is limited by the small numbers of animals on which meat tenderness can be evaluated due to the cost of performing shear force analysis and the resultant damage to the carcass. Genome wide-association studies for War...
