Jeremiah, L. E., Newman, J. A., Price, M. A., Jones, S. D. M., Vincent, B. C.
Three groups of once-calved (OCH) heifers were slaughtered following the weaning of their calves at 3 (OCH3, n = 32), 5 (OCH5, n = 33) and 7 (OCH7, n = 31) months postcalving. A fourth group of heifers was fed a silage/grain diet and slaughtered at 15 mo of age (C, n = 32). Alternate sides of...

Parkins, John, Goddard, Ellen, Plastow, Graham, Carlyle, Cameron
NFRF-Exploration grant awarded 2020: Sustainability of the beef industry and sustainability of temperate grasslands are equally challenging currently. Beef cattle don’t typically graze on tidy fields of managed pasture, but instead graze complex landscapes with highly diverse vegetation and plant...

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...

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...

M. E. R. Dugan, Juárez, M., Basarab, J. A., Baron, V. S., Aalhus, J. L., McAllister, T. A., Aldai, N.
Forty feedlot steers were fed a barley-grain-based finishing diet typical for western Canada, with two levels of supplementary vitamin E (468 or 1069 IU head-1 d-1) and the effect on backfat trans-18:1 isomeric profile was determined. Feeding 1068 IU vitamin E reduced the total trans-18:1 content...

Effect of breed type and residual feed intake on meat and collagen quality and expression of genes involved in collagen synthesis and degradation in bovine m. gluteus medius
DownloadSpring 2020
Residual feed intake (RFI) is an index of feed efficiency that has been demonstrated to be moderately heritable, with cattle having low RFI values being efficient as they consume less feed for the same weight gain. This may be of financial benefit to producers, but to be fully beneficial to...

Effect of chitosan, and bacteriocin – Producing Carnobacterium maltaromaticum on survival of Escherichia coli and Salmonella Typhimurium on beef
Download2018-01-01
Hu, Zi Yi, Balay, Danielle, Hu, Ying, McMullen, Lynn M., Gänzle, Michael G.
The aim of this study was to investigate the synergistic effect of chitosan and bacteriocins against Escherichia coli and Salmonella in media and in lean beef. The inhibitory effects of chitosan and bacteriocins against E. coli AW1.7 and S. enterica Typhimurium in media were determined by a...
