A fully functional grading or classification system must allow trading in carcasses and meat to be conducted without the buyer needing to inspect the product personally. To achieve this, the system must accurately indicate the quantity of meat, the intrinsic quality of the meat, and any aspects...

Meat quality of bison (Bison bison bison) Longissimus thoracis et lumborum following very fast chilling
Download2002
Aalhus, J. L., Janz, J. A. M., Price, M. A.
Very fast chilling (VFC; internal muscle temperature of -1°C by 5 h postmortem) was achieved in the longissimus lumborum (LL), but not in the semimembranosus, of lean bison carcasses after only 4 or 6 h of chilling at -35°C. Rigorous chilling caused a shift in moisture loss from carcass cooler...

Price, M. A., Berg, R. T., Butterfield, R. M., Hardin, R. T., Jones, S. D. M., Fukuhara, R.
Seventy-five young, full-fed, Shorthorn-sired cattle (36 heifers, 24 steers, 15 bulls) were slaughtered over a wide liveweight range (150-550 kg) to evaluate the influence of sex on the patterns of fat deposition.

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...

Meat and carcass quality traits are of increasing interest to the swine industry due to their influence on customer purchasing and repurchasing decisions. However, meat quality traits must be measured post-mortem, meaning that these traits cannot be measured on the potential breeding candidates...

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 dietary roughage level on the efficiency of growth and muscle deposition in bulls and steers

Hardin, R. T., Jones, S. D. M., Berg, R. T., Price, M. A.
Bulls and implanted steers fed three dietary roughage levels (20% 50%, and 80% alfalfa-brome hay) were compared for various measures of efficiency in beef production. Cattle were about 1 yr of age at the start of the trial and bulls were heavier than steers (290 kg vs. 269 kg). There were four...

The influences of feed energy level on growth and carcass traits in bulls of two breed types
Download1984
Makarechian, M., Butson,S., Price, M. A.
A serial slaughter experiment is described using 48 yearling bulls: 24 Hereford crossbred (HX) and 24 Beef synthetic (SY). Twelve bulls of each breed type were fed a high-energy, mainly grain diet (Hi) and the other 12 a pelleted alfalfa diet (Lo). The two breed types showed similar growth rate...
