In recent years, Montbeliard cattle have been imported to France from Uzbekistan in order strengthen the breeding base of and create high-yielding herds increase livestock production. However, productivity characteristics this breed not studied our hot climate conditions special studies depending on various factors. Studies shown that level milk yield co-breeding cows depends type It was found ...

In order to distinguish Korean cattle (Hanwoo) beef from the imported beef from Australia in Korean markets, DNA markers based on PCR-RFLP from mitochondrial genes and SRY gene were applied. A total of 2,826 beef samples comprising 1,495 Hanwoo and 1,331 foreign cattle breeds were obtained in Korea. An 801 bp fragment of the SRY gene on the bovine Y chromosome, a 343 bp fragment of ND4 gene and...

The objective was to study how surveillance for bovine tuberculosis (bTB) could be made more resource-effective in a bTB free country. A stochastic scenario tree model was developed to: (1) evaluate the sensitivity (CSe) of four surveillance system components (SSC) (i.e., meat inspection of slaughtered domestic cattle, farmed deer and pigs, and tuberculin testing of adult export cattle) given t...

Beef and pork are two commonly consumed meats that can be processed in many different ways. The primary reason for processing beef and pork is to improve consumer acceptability and convenience of preparation, and to extend shelf life. To achieve this, processing usually accomplishes the following. 1. Remove bones, if applicable. 2. Make connective tissue less objectionable, by removal of extrem...

Human campylobacteriosis is a common zoonosis with a significant burden in many countries. Its prevention is difficult because humans can be exposed to Campylobacter through various exposures: foodborne, waterborne or by contact with animals. This study aimed at attributing campylobacteriosis to sources at the point of exposure. It combined comparative exposure assessment and microbial subtype ...

We examined the susceptibility in vitro of 99 isolates of Mycoplasma (M. bovirhinis, M. bovis, M. alkalescens and M. bovoculi) and one of Acholeplasma laidlawii collected in 2008 and 2009 from Japanese homebred cattle and cows imported from Australia to 13 antimicrobial agents. Mycoplasma species isolated from homebred cattle were susceptible to spectinomycin and fluoroquinolones but resistant ...

What was done (summary) This study was designed to examine the effectiveness of low-voltage electrical stimulation (ES) in improving meat tenderness of forage-finished beef when used in a small-scale, low-volume slaughter plant. In experiment 1, the effect of ES on postmortem glycolysis was inves­ tigated by measuring metabolite concentrations in 10 cattle (5 ES and 5 control). ES accelerated p...

INTRODUCTION Modern beef cattle used for our beef production are not exactly a property left by our ancestors, but composed products from native and imported cattle. Most native cattle were graded up by British and continental breeds for a few generations about 90 years ago. It should be pointed out, however, that they are the sole domestic farm animals in our country contributing to practical ...
