Identifying Gene Expression Differences Induced by Diets that Lead to Higher Omega-3 Fatty-Acid Deposition in Beef Cows
DownloadFall 2015
A strong emphasis on the type of fatty acids (FAs) consumed in the human diet has emerged in recent years. In this context, the various health benefits of consuming omega-3 (n-3) polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) have been widely reported. Supplementation of beef cattle diets with flaxseed, a...

Improving beef hamburger quality and fatty acid profiles through dietary manipulation and exploitation of fat depot heterogeneity
Download2014
Dugan, Michael E. R., Rolland, David C., Uttaro, Bethany, Aalhus, Jennifer L., Block, Hushton C., Vahmani, Payam, Mapiye, Cletos, Proctor, Spencer D., McAllister, Timothy A.
Background Hamburger is the most consumed beef product in North America, but lacks in nutritional appeal due to its high fat content and high proportion of saturated fatty acids (SFA). Objectives of the present study were to improve the FA profiles of hamburgers made with perirenal fat (PRF) and...

Influence of cyclopropane fatty acids on heat, high pressure, acid, and oxidative stress resistance in Escherichia coli
Download2016-01-01
Chen, Yuan Yao, Gänzle, Michael G.
Heat and high pressure resistant strains of Escherichia coli are a challenge to food safety. This study investigated effects of cyclopropane fatty acids (CFAs) on stress tolerance in the heat- and pressure-resistant strain E. coli AW1.7 and the sensitive strain E. coli MG1655. The role of CFAs...

Influence of sire breed on the interplay among rumen microbial populations inhabiting the rumen liquid of the progeny in beef cattle
Download2013
Guan, L. L., Wang, Z., Zhou, M., Goonewardene, L. A., Moore, S. S., Hernandez-Sanabria, E.
This study aimed to evaluate whether the host genetic background impact the ruminal microbial communities of the progeny of sires from three different breeds under different diets. Eighty five bacterial and twenty eight methanogen phylotypes from 49 individuals of diverging sire breed (Angus,...

Initial differences in lipid processing leading to pig- and beef-derived mature adipocyte dedifferentiation
Download2009
Fernyhough, Melinda E., Hausman, Gary J., Guan, Leluo, Guridi, Maitea, Jiang, Zhihua, Dodson, Michael V., Chen, Jie
Clonal cultures of pig-derived mature adipocytes are capable of dedifferentiating and forming proliferative-competent progeny cells in vitro. Initial lipid processing, is different to that observed in cultures of beef-derived adipocytes. Mature pig adipocytes extrude lipid before proliferation,...

Interactive effects of low voltage electrical stimulation and leg restraint on meat quality of Charolais crossbred steer carcasses
Download1990
Jones, C. R., Bruce, H. L., Ball, R. O.
The meat quality of the longissimus muscle of 12 Charolais crossbred steers that were electrically stimulated on randomly selected sides approximately 1 h postmortem was investigated. Temperature and pH measurements were taken on each side at 5 min prior and 1, 4, 24 and 48 h subsequent to...

Plastow, G., Lu, D., Miller, S., Moore, S., Vander Voort, G., Wang Z., Sargolzaei, M., Li, C., Kelly, M.
Linkage disequilibrium (LD) and the persistence of its phase across populations are important for genomic selection as well as fine scale mapping of quantitative trait loci (QTL). However, knowledge of LD in beef cattle, as well as the persistence of LD phase between crossbreds (C) and purebreds,...

Modification of beef quality through steer age at slaughter, breed cross and growth promotants
Download2012
Aalhus, J. L., Basarab, J. A., Girard, I., Bruce., H. L., Larsen, I. L.
A 23 factorial experiment tested the interactions of slaughter age (12–13 or 18–20 mo), growth implants use (Component E-S, TE-S), ractopamine hydrochloride (RAC) feed supplementation use and breed cross [Hereford–Aberdeen Angus (HAA) or Charolais–Red Angus (CRA)] on pH, temperature, objective...

Bruce., H. L., Aalhus, J. L., Larsen, I. L., Girard, I., Basarab, J. A.
A 24 factorial experiment tested the interactions of slaughter age (12–13 or 18–20 mo), growth hormone use, β-adrenergic agonist (β-AA) use and breed cross [Hereford–Aberdeen Angus (HAA) or Charolais–Red Angus (CRA)] on the composition, fibre types, and connective tissue characteristics of m....

Performance and Methane Emissions of RFI Selected Cattle in Drylot and Under Open Range Conditions
DownloadSpring 2018
Residual feed intake (RFI) is a moderately heritable trait that can be used to measure feed efficiency in beef cattle, and thereby reduce feed related costs. RFI has been primarily evaluated under drylot conditions where diet, feed intake and activity levels are controlled and foraging behaviour...
