The cooking and eating quality characteristics of rib-eye roasts obtained from cows after removal from the breeding herd and after 8 or 16 wk of realimentation were determined. Evaluations of the effects of maturity class (physiological age) and external fatness on meat quality were also made....

The effects of dietary roughage level on the feedlot performance and carcass characteristics of bulls and steers
Download1978
Mathison, G. W., Price, M. A., Berg, R. T.
An experiment is described comparing bulls and implanted steers fed diets containing three roughage levels (20, 50 and 80% alfalfa–brome hay) with two pens of four cattle in each ’sex’ × dietary roughage level subgroup. Cattle were about 12 mo old and 230kg at the start of the trial. Each animal...

The effects of increasing dietary roughage level and slaughter weight on the feedlot performance and carcass characteristics of bulls and steers

Price, M. A., Berg, R. T., Jones, S. D. M., Mathison, G. W.
A serial slaughter experiment is described comparing 45 bulls and 44 implanted steers. Nine of each 'sex' were slaughtered at the start of the trial and the remaining 71 were fed diets containing three roughage levels (20%, 50% and 80% alfalfa-brome hay) to two pen-average slaughter weights (450...

Jones, S. D. M., Price, M. A., Berg, R. T.
A trial is reported comparing muscle growth and distribution in l2 bulls and l2 heifers of each of two breed-types: Hereford (HE) and Dairy Synthetic (DY). Serial slaughter was carried out from weaning ( 163 + 15. I days) to approximately l5 mo of age.

The influence of breed on the efficiency of growth and muscle deposition in bulls and heifers
Download1981
Berg, R. T., Price, M. A., Jones, S. D. M.
Two breeds (Hereford (HE), and Dairy Synthetic (DY)), and two sexes (bulls and heifers) were compared for various measures of efficiency in beef production. DY animals had greater (P < 0.001) birthweights, and greater weaning weights (P < 0.001) than HE animals. At weaning, 16 animals of each...

The influence of Zeranol on feedlot performance and carcass traits of culled cows and heifers
Download1982
A total of 126 cows and heifers culled from the University of Alberta beef herd were used in an experiment to study the effects of zeranol, an anabolic growth stimulant. The cattle were divided into two groups: 67 aged less than 4 yr (young) and 59 aged more than 4 yr (mature); within each group,...

Background Despite ongoing reductions in the cost of sequencing technologies, whole genome SNP genotype imputation is often used as an alternative for obtaining abundant SNP genotypes for genome wide association studies. Several existing genotype imputation methods can be efficient for this...

Whole-genome analyses of Korean native and Holstein cattle breeds by massively parallel sequencing

Kim, Tae-Hun, Oh, Jae-Don, Han, Kwang-Jin, Choi, Jung-Woo, Choi, So-Young, Lee, Hak-Kyo, Stothard, Paul, Jeon, Heoyn-Jeong, Lee, Kyung-Tai, Lee, Jeong-Koo, Jeong, Dongkee, Kim, Namshin, Chung, Won-Hyong, Kim, Hyeong-Cheol, Liao, Xiaoping, Yang, Bokyoung, Miller, Stephen P., Lee, Sung-Jin
A main goal of cattle genomics is to identify DNA differences that account for variations in economically important traits. In this study, we performed whole-genome analyses of three important cattle breeds in Korea—Hanwoo, Jeju Heugu, and Korean Holstein—using the Illumina HiSeq 2000 sequencing...
