A total of 281 lamb carcasses covering three weight groups (18–22.9, 23–25.9 and 26–30 kg) and fatness (< 3 mm, 3–5 mm and > 5 mm) were used to determine the usefulness of several carcass measurements for predicting saleable meat yield. Carcasses were measured for fat and muscle depth, 3–4 cm...

Study of Carcass, organ, muscle, fat tissue weight and concentration in rats fed CLA or its precursors by Principal Component Analysis
Download2004
Mir, Z., Wang, Z., Goonewardene, L. A., Okine, E. K., Mir, P. S.
Carcass, organ and muscle weight, and fat tissue data were obtained from 30 weaned male Wistar rats fed one of three diets, (10 rats/diet) over a period of 60 d. The diets were base with synthetic conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), sunflower oil or beef enriched CLA. The CLA diet contained the base...

Beef composites (C) have combined favourable traits of pure breeds. The objective was to compare the growth rates (GR) of muscle (M) and fat (F) in the primal cuts of serially harvested Beefbooster® C types (SM = C of small breeds, AH = C of Angus and Hereford and GLC = C with Gelbvieh, Limousin...

An experimental investigation of the impact of fat taxes: Price effects, food stigma, and information effects on economic instruments to improve dietary health
DownloadFall 2009
This thesis investigates how a tax and warning label on less healthy snack food products may affect consumer behaviour when the imposition of the tax is a source of consumer information. A survey that included choice experiments was implemented in supermarkets. Participants were asked to choose...

Goonewardene, Laksiri A., Basarab, John A., Wang, Z., Price, Megan A., Ramsey, P., Marx, T., Aalhus, J., Seneviratne, R. W., Yalingasinghe, W. G. N. P., Okine, Erasmus K.
The objectives were to compare weights and proportions (%) of muscle (M), fat (F) and bone (B) in the carcass, primal cuts (brisket, loin and short loin, chuck, flank, plate, rib, round and shank) and fat depots in three BeefBooster® composites (n = 176) from 274-456 days at slaughter, and...

Short communication: Erythrocytes assayed early ante-mortem can predict adipose tissue and muscle trans-18:1 isomeric profiles of steers fed red clover silage supplemented with flaxseed
Download2013
Aalhus, J. L., Rolland, D. C., M. E. R. Dugan, Baron, V. S., Mapiye, C., Basarab, J. A., Turner, T. D., Block, H. C., McAllister, T. A., Uttaro, B.
Steers were fed a red clover silage-based diet with or without flaxseed to evaluate over time the effects of flaxseed supplementation on erythrocytes (ERC) trans(t)18:1 isomers composition and their relationships to adipose tissue and muscle t18:1 profiles at slaughter. Concentrations of most ERC...
