Dominant Red Coat Color in Holstein Cattle Is Associated with a Missense Mutation in the Coatomer Protein Complex, Subunit Alpha (COPA) Gene
Download2015
Sällman Almén, M., Liao, X., Stothard, P., Henegar, C., Van Doormaal, B., Rubin, C. -J., Andersson, L., Barsh, G. S., Ito, S., Plastow, G., Wakamatsu, K., Dorshorst, B.
Coat color in Holstein dairy cattle is primarily controlled by the melanocortin 1 receptor (MC1R) gene, a central determinant of black (eumelanin) vs. red/brown pheomelanin synthesis across animal species. The major MC1R alleles in Holsteins are Dominant Black (MC1RD) and Recessive Red (MC1Re). A...

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...

Price, M. A., Berg, R. T., Jones, S. D. M.
The relative growth and distribution of bone from 256 bovine carcasses were compared among three breed-types (British, up to 30% Charolais and 30-50% Charolais) and three \"sexes\" (heifers, steers and bulls) over a wide range in carcass weight.

Effects of calf- and yearling-fed beef production systems and growth promotants on production and profitability
Download2013
Baron, V. S., López-Campos, O., Aalhus, J. L., Basarab, J. A., Okine, E. K.
In each of 2 yr, 112 spring-born steers were used to evaluate the effect of calf-fed vs. yearling-fed with and without growth implant and β-adrenergic agonist on production parameters and economic potential. Steers were grouped into: (1) non-implanted feeders harvested at 11–14 mo of age, (2)...

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)...

The effects of zeranol were studied in 24 steers and 24 bulls starting at an average weight of 200 kg for a trial period of 183 days. Bulls grew faster than steers (P = 0.07) and zeranol-treated cattle showed higher average daily gain than controls (P < 0.05); there was no significant interaction...

Price, M. A., Butson, S., Chaudhary, Z. I., Makarechian, M.
Thirty-two cull cows aged from 1 to 13 yr were allocated to five age groups and fed individually for 82 days, then slaughtered. Half of the cows within each group were implanted with 36 mg of zeranol. Zeranol had no significant effect on average daily gain, feed efficiency or backfat thickness,...
