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...

Spring 2016
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...

Garcia-Hernandez, Rigoberto, Ruan, Lifang, Gänzle, Michael G., Zheng, Jinshui, Mercer, Ryan G., McMullen, Lynn M.
Escherichia coli AW1.7 is a heat resistant food isolate and the occurrence of pathogenic strains with comparable heat resistance may pose a risk to food safety. To identify the genetic determinants of heat resistance, 29 strains of E. coli that differed in their of heat resistance were analyzed...

Greenhouse gas emissions from calf- and yearling-fed beef production systems, with and without the use of growth promotants
Download2012
Baron, V. S, Aalhus, J. L., Basarab, J. A., López-Campos, Ó., Haugen-Kozyra, K., Okine, E. K.
A spring calving herd consisting of about 350 beef cows, 14–16 breeding bulls, 60 replacement heifers and 112 steers were used to compare the whole-farm GHG emissions among calf-fed vs. yearling-fed production systems with and without growth implants. Carbon footprint ranged from 11.63 to 13.22...

Identifying Gene Expression Differences Induced by Diets that Lead to Higher Omega-3 Fatty-Acid Deposition in Beef Cows
DownloadFall 2015
A strong emphasis on the type of fatty acids (FAs) consumed in the human diet has emerged in recent years. In this context, the various health benefits of consuming omega-3 (n-3) polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) have been widely reported. Supplementation of beef cattle diets with flaxseed, a...

Improving beef hamburger quality and fatty acid profiles through dietary manipulation and exploitation of fat depot heterogeneity
Download2014
Dugan, Michael E. R., Rolland, David C., Uttaro, Bethany, Aalhus, Jennifer L., Block, Hushton C., Vahmani, Payam, Mapiye, Cletos, Proctor, Spencer D., McAllister, Timothy A.
Background Hamburger is the most consumed beef product in North America, but lacks in nutritional appeal due to its high fat content and high proportion of saturated fatty acids (SFA). Objectives of the present study were to improve the FA profiles of hamburgers made with perirenal fat (PRF) and...

Influence of cyclopropane fatty acids on heat, high pressure, acid, and oxidative stress resistance in Escherichia coli
Download2016-01-01
Chen, Yuan Yao, Gänzle, Michael G.
Heat and high pressure resistant strains of Escherichia coli are a challenge to food safety. This study investigated effects of cyclopropane fatty acids (CFAs) on stress tolerance in the heat- and pressure-resistant strain E. coli AW1.7 and the sensitive strain E. coli MG1655. The role of CFAs...

Influence of sire breed on the interplay among rumen microbial populations inhabiting the rumen liquid of the progeny in beef cattle
Download2013
Guan, L. L., Wang, Z., Zhou, M., Goonewardene, L. A., Moore, S. S., Hernandez-Sanabria, E.
This study aimed to evaluate whether the host genetic background impact the ruminal microbial communities of the progeny of sires from three different breeds under different diets. Eighty five bacterial and twenty eight methanogen phylotypes from 49 individuals of diverging sire breed (Angus,...
