Characterization of Heat Resistant Escherichia coli Isolates Associated with Human Infection
DownloadSpring 2021
Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) is a bacterial pathogen associated with foodborne diarrheal disease. Infection with STEC presents as a mild, watery diarrhea to hemorrhagic colitis and can progress to the life-threatening complication, hemolytic uremic syndrome. Cattle are recognized...

Comparative assessment of qPCR enumeration methods that discriminate between live and dead Escherichia coli O157:H7 on beef
Download2018-01-01
Laidlaw, Anna M., Gänzle, Michael G., Yang, Xianqin
Quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction (qPCR) is a molecular method commonly used to detect and quantify bacterial DNA on food but is limited by its inability to distinguish between live and dead cell DNA. To overcome this obstacle, propidium monoazide (PMA) alone or with deoxycholate (DC) was...

Comparative transcriptomic analysis of rectal tissue from beef steers revealed reduced host immunity in Escherichia coli O157:H7 super-shedders
Download2016-03-09
McAllister, Tim A., Wang, Ou, Plastow, Graham, Stanford, Kim, Liang, Guanxiang, Guan, Le L., Selinger, Brent
Super-shedder cattle are a major disseminator of E. coli O157:H7 into the environment, and the terminal rectum has been proposed as the primary E. coli O157:H7 colonization site. This study aimed to identify host factors that are associated with the super-shedding process by comparing...

Comparison of Objective External Carcass Measurements and Subjective Conformation Scores for Prediction of Lamb Carcass Quality
Download1997
McClelland, L. A., Woloschuk, C. M., S. D. M. Jones., Stanford, K., Price, M. A.
Carcass measurements were collected from 1505 lambs over a 2-yr period by a single technician. The lambs (rams, ewes and wethers) were classified as either meat-type or wool-type, with meat-type subdivided by frame size into light, medium or large. Carcass measurements included carcass length...

Coordinated international action to accelerate genome-to-phenome with FAANG, the Functional Annotation of Animal Genomes project
Download2015
Tosser-Klopp, G., Zhou, H., Palti, Y., Nanduri, B., Tixier-Boichard, M., Silverstein, J., Plastow, G. S., Sarropoulou, E., Brauning, R., Zhao, S., Rohrer, G. A., Elsik, C. G., Cheng, H.

K., Casas, E.
We describe the organization of a nascent international effort, the Functional Annotation of Animal Genomes (FAANG) project, whose aim is to produce comprehensive maps of functional elements in the genomes of domesticated animal species.

1982
Counting the number of permanent anterior (incisor plus canine) teeth is a well-established method for estimating physiological age in cattle. In this study, 1295 observations were made on cows and heifers representing five breed types and ranging in age from 475 to 2035 days. None of the breed...

Design and Demonstration of a High Throughput DNA Tracking System for Genetic Improvement and Brand Verification in the Canadian Beef Industry
DownloadSpring 2014
The Canadian beef industry today is challenged to adapt to climate change and to produce quality beef more efficiently, using fewer resources and with less impact to the environment. Competing protein sources have integrated their supply chains and applied genetic selection to increase...

Development of an optical biosensor based on Mach-Zehnder Interferometry for detection of Listeria monocytogenes
DownloadFall 2013
Label-free optical biosensors are widely used for the detection of pathogens due to their low-cost, real-time detection and high sensitivity. A Mach-Zehnder Interferometer (MZI) based biosensor has been developed for the detection of gram-positive bacteria, Listeria monocytogenes. An extensive...

Diacylglycerol acyltransferase (DGAT) activity in relation to muscle fat content and DGAT1 genotype in two different breeds of Bos taurus
Download2006-01-01
Sorensen, Brent M., Kühn, Christa, Teuscher, Friedrich, Schneider, Falk, Weselake, Randall J., Wegner, Jochen J.
To circumvent the obvious waste of resources when producing good marbled beef, research is needed to clarify mechanisms which are involved in intramuscular fat storage in cattle. The possible association between the activity of diacylglycerol acyltransferase (DGAT) and muscle fat content was...
