Effect of hydrostatic pressure and antimicrobial on survival of Listeria monocytogenes and enterohaemorrhagic E.coli in beef
Download2016-01-01
The effects of marinades on Listeria monocytogenes and enterohaemorrhagic Escherichia coli were investigated in pressure treated beef steaks. Meat was treated with 600 MPa or 450 MPa. Marinades did not enhance pressure inactivation of E. coli in beef steaks and marinades prevented...

Effect of Preservatives on Growth and Filamentation of Listeria monocytogenes on Ready-to-Eat Meats
DownloadFall 2020
Listeria monocytogenes is a foodborne pathogen known to contaminate RTE foods and grow at refrigeration temperatures. It is also known to form filaments when stressed, which may affect enumeration and compromise consumer safety. The objective of this study was to observe the growth and...

Bruce, H. L., Mowat, D. N., Ball, R. O.
The relationships between meat tenderness and the changes in metabolism and body composition associated with compensatory growth in cattle were examined. Thirty-six steers were randomly allotted to 12 pens of three with three diets assigned randomly to the pens. Diets were alfalfa/grass silage,...

Meat tenderness may be improved by accelerating muscle metabolism or by damaging muscle structure and increasing the solubility of muscle proteins. Pre- and postrigor protein and collagen solubilities were measured in semitendinosus muscles, removed pre-rigor from 24 Charolais crossbred steer...

Effects of production system and growth promotants on the physiological maturity scores in steers
Download2014
Aalhus, J. L., Basarab, J. A., N. Prieto, I. L., López-Campos, Ó., Larsen, M.
Over a 2-yr period, 224 crossbred steers were allotted to a 2×2×2 factorial arrangement of treatments to determine the effect of the production system (calf-fed vs. yearling-fed), growth implant strategy (non-implanted vs. implanted) and β-agonist supplementation (no ractopamine vs. ractopamine)...

Meghen, C. N., Platz, S. S., Hu, X. S., Moore, S. S., Simila, J., Plastow, G.
Estimating animal abundance in industrial scale batches of ground meat is important for mapping meat products through the manufacturing process and for effectively tracing the finished product during a food safety recall. The processing of ground beef involves a potentially large number of...

The main objective of this research was to evaluate the potential of 3-nitrooxypropanol (NOP) to lower enteric methane (CH4) production by ruminants. Methane is an undesirable byproduct of enteric fermentation that represents a loss of energy to the animal. Additionally, CH4 is a greenhouse gas...

Fine scale mapping and association study of economically important traits on chromosomes 19 and 29 in beef and dairy cattle
DownloadFall 2009
The objective of this thesis was to construct radiation hybrid (RH) maps and estimate linkage disequilibrium (LD) using high density SNP markers on chromosomes 19 (BTA19) and 29 (BTA29) and use these as a tool to detect QTL in dairy and beef cattle. We have constructed RH maps of BTA19 and BTA29...

Steiner, Bodo E., Goddard, Ellen, Unterschultz, Jim
Vertical coordination throughout Canada's beef supply chain is imperfect on several accounts. We observe failures in the established pricing system, the established grading system, a lack of appropriate incentives for investments to promote adding value, and misalignments due to the increasing...
