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...

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...

Fall 2014
Methane is the second most important greenhouse gas after carbon dioxide with a global warming potential over 100 years 25 times that of CO2. Today, anthropogenic sources of methane comprise 60% of the global methane budget per year and tools for mitigating emissions have become increasingly...

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...

Effect of dried distillers’ grains with solubles on greenhouse gas emissions from beef cattle
DownloadSpring 2014
Four experiments were conducted to determine the impact of dried distillers’ grains with solubles (DDGS) on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from beef cattle. The first compared in vitro methane (CH4) production from corn DDGS (CDDGS, ~30% crude protein [CP]) and wheat DDGS (WDDGS, ~40% CP dry...

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...

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,...

Effects of feeding 3-nitrooxypropanol to lactating dairy cows on methane emissions, animal performance and rumen fermentation
DownloadFall 2014
Methane emissions from ruminants are of great concern as they contribute to greenhouse gasses emitted within the atmosphere. The objective of this research was to evaluate a novel biochemical compound, 3-nitrooxypropanol, on its ability to reduce methane emissions and its impact on animal...
