Estimation of Carcase Composition of Beef Bulls
نویسندگان
چکیده
The regression of muscle:bone ratio on carcase weight was 0.0055 k 0.0017 kg. The mean muscle: bone ratio adjusted to a carcase weight of 213 kg was 3.99 * 0.20. There was little variation in muscle:bone ratio among individuals and the differences between sire progeny groups were not significant. However, the number of progeny within each group was small and a wider sampling is required to establish the extent of the within breed variation in muscle: bone ratio.

Lucerne grazing compared with concentrate-feeding slightly modifies carcase and meat quality of young bulls.
Carcase and meat quality of young bulls raised on one of three fattening strategies from 224 to 450 kg were compared. One group was fed concentrates (CON), another group grazed on lucerne plus 1.8 kg DM barley/day (LUC) and the last group had the same management as LUC young bulls for 3 months and was then finished on concentrates for 2 months. Among carcase traits, only tissue composition diff...
متن کاملGenetic Analyses on Carcase Characters of Australian Wagyu Beef Cattle
Producers of Wagyu beef have unique opportunities to assess high value markets, where carcase value is determined primarily on marbling score. To date, there have been limited genetic studies of this breed, especially in Australia. Newly developed image analysis equipment could be a useful tool to analyse carcase characters. This study estimated genetic parameters for carcase traits measured by...
متن کاملQuality of beef from semi-intensively fattened heifers and bulls
Used were 15 bulls and 15 heifers of the Black-and-White Polish Holstein-Friesian breed, semiintensively fattened, with the aim of evaluating the effect of sex on the selected traits of quality of beef. Bulls were slaughtered at the mean age of 536.2 days and 523.1 kg body weight, and heifers at 528.7 days and 459.7 kg body weight, respectively. After slaughter and post-slaughter treatment, the...
متن کاملEffect of dietary canola on fatty acid composition of bovine adipose tissue, muscle, kidney, and liver.
The purpose of this study was to determine effects of feeding canola and soybean products as protein supplements on fatty acid composition of adipose tissue and muscle of slaughter bulls and steers and on fatty acid composition of kidney and liver total lipids of bulls. Products included canola meal (CM), extruded canola (EC, full-fat), ground canola (GC, full-fat), soybean meal (SBM), and extr...
متن کاملPost-slaughter aspects of beef eating quality - July 1999
The eating quality of meat is a function of the animal production and carcase processing that has been applied. While live animal factors (animal age, nutrition, breed, pre-slaughter stress) often have a marked effect on beef eating quality, in many cases the treatment of the carcase on the slaughter floor and in the chiller can have a far greater effect. This update, which follows on from Meat...
