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....

Prediction of residual feed intake for first lactation dairy cows using orthogonal polynomial random regression
Download2013
Okine, E. K., Goonewardene, L. A., McFadden, T., Basarab, J. A., Wang, Z., Manafiazar, G., Li, P.
Residual Feed Intake (RFI) is a measure of energy efficiency. Developing an appropriate model to predict expected energy intake while accounting for multifunctional energy requirements of metabolic body weight (MBW), empty body weight (EBW), milk production energy requirements (MPER), and their...

Steaks from longissimus lumborum and semimembranosus muscles, aged 2 or 27 d, were obtained from a population of steers (n=112) managed to produce a range in tenderness (shear force range from 2.57 to 17.2 kg). All available carcass (live weight, hot commercial weight, pH, temperature, marbling,...

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...

The analysis of data containing repeated observations measured on animals (experimental unit) allocated to different treatments over time is a common design in animal science. Conventionally, repeated measures data were either analyzed as a univariate (split-plot in time) or a multivariate ANOVA...
