The objective of this study was to determine the effect of the dietary inclusion of lipid-based diets (whole cottonseed and protected fat) on the pH, meat color and fat, tenderness and cooking yield in Longissimus thoracis muscle of cattle feedlot. Were used 39 Nellore cattle uncastrated with average initial body weight of 494.1 ± 10.1 kg and 36 months of age were housed for 63 days in pens with thirteen animals each. A completely randomized design with three treatments and thirteen replications was used. The treatments evaluated were: Feed with 2.50% whole cottonseed (control diet); feed with 11.50% whole cottonseed; and feed with 3.13% whole cottonseed added of protected lipid (PL), all on a dry matter basis. No differences were found for pH 24 h post mortem, meat color and fat, tenderness or cooking yield. The values of shear force of meat the animals presented differences (P <0.05), and the animals fed with 11.50% of cottonseed had greater value than those fed 2.50% on the diet, in relation to dry matter. The study came to the conclusion that the protected lipid does not influence the qualitative characteristics of meat and the amount of 11.50% of cottonseed in the cattle diet does not contribute to the improvement of texture and tenderness of the meat.

“…Para que el país pueda ir ganando espacio en el comercio mundial de la carne bovina in natura necesitará dotar de más infraestructura a los productores, desde caminos de todo tiempo a la incorporación de trazabilidad de todos los ganados para todos los destinos de mercado de acuerdo a lo mencionado por Ruviaro et al (2014), siendo este un mecanismo para ganar mercados más exigentes y con remuneraciones más importantes. Además, Arce (2012) habla de la necesidad de una inversión más fuerte en la educación de los jóvenes que pueda ayudar a aumentar la productividad de la nación paraguaya.…”

RESUMENEl objetivo de este trabajo fue analizar la competitividad de las exportaciones de soja y carne bovina in natura en el Paraguay en el periodo de 2005 a 2013. Para medir la competitividad se utilizó el modelo del Índice de Ventaja Comparativa Revelada utilizando la base de datos del Banco Central del Paraguay (para los productos agrícolas), UN Comtrade (para las exportaciones de la soja y la carne bovina), y de la Organización Mundial del Comercio (para los totales de las exportaciones agrícolas mundiales). El comercio internacional de la carne bovina ha sufrido cambios en el tiempo, sea por las enfermedades como la fiebre aftosa y la encefalopatía espongiforme bovina así como también por el efecto de la crisis económica mundial. Paraguay ha aumentado su participación en la producción y exportación de la carne bovina, que tiene como destinos más importantes a Brasil, Líbano y Chile (carne bovina in natura refrigerada) y a la Federación Rusa, Israel y Angola (carne bovina in natura congelada). La exportación del grano de la soja ha destinado su producción principalmente a Argentina, Uruguay y la Unión Europea. El Paraguay cuenta con la ventaja comparativa revelada para los commodities de la soja y la carne bovina (congelada y refrigerada) en todos los periodos de estudios. Palabras clave: IVCR, commodities, soja, carne bovina. ABSTRACTThe objective was to analyze the competitiveness of exports of soybeans and beef in natura in Paraguay in the period 2005 to 2013. To measure competitiveness model Revealed Comparative Advantage Index was used using the base data from the Central Bank of Paraguay (for agricultural products), UNcomtrade (exports of soybeans and beef), and the World Trade Organization (for total of world agricultural exports). International trade in beef has undergone changes over time, either by diseases like FMD and BSE as well as the effect of the global economic crisis. Paraguay has increased its share in the production and export of beef, which has the most important destinations in Brazil, Lebanon and Chile (beef in chilled natura) and the Russian Federation, Israel and Angola (beef in frozen natura). Grain export in soybean production has allocated mainly to Argentina, Uruguay and the European Union. Paraguay has revealed comparative advantage for commodity soybeans and beef (frozen and chilled) in all study periods.

“…Promotion of record keeping and traceability should be complemented with efforts to increase the economic and environmental efficiency of pastoral systems [75]. The adoption of a typification scheme for beef carcasses across the MERCOSUR common market that considers animal breed, age, and farming systems would aid in making available products of known origin and quality for consumers and avoid the competition with beef cuts of unknown traits [76]. Furthermore, a significant increase in the national cattle herd will be required if the aim of the country is to achieve competitive volumes of beef for export.…”

Simple Summary: Livestock production systems show modifications over time due to both internal and external variables. The relationships between internal variables allow the definition of typological groups of production systems. Knowing the typological groups and their temporal evolution allows the identification of continuity strategies at the private and public levels. With this aim and using data from livestock surveys conducted in 2009, 2011, 2013 and 2015, four typological groups of beef production in a Mediterranean-temperate climate zone of Chile were identified. The typological groups differed in size, productive orientation, breeds used, and response to changes in external variables, among other aspects. These groups require different continuity strategies, which include, their sustainable intensification and the need to focus on pastoral production using low external inputs to enhance the production of "natural" beef for high-value niche markets. Abstract:The present study used surveys of the cattle sector over the period of 2009-2015 to develop a typology of cattle farms to evaluate their evolution over time and to identify variables that may be associated with systems' adaptive changes and continuance. Four groups of farms were defined using multivariate analyses as follows: Group I are small calf-cow operations using non-specialized beef breeds; Group II is similar to Group I but employs specialized beef breeds; Group III is dedicated to finishing cattle, and Group IV are larger farms (>1000 animals) with a complete cycle of breeding and fattening. In general, beef cattle production in the temperate-Mediterranean Southern Zone of Chile is declining in response to the opening up of the economy that allows for ample imports, the high opportunity cost of land, and recurrent droughts associated with climate change. Current policies and regulations have modified farms' businesses models depending on their ease of access to markets, farm size and financial capacity. The defined groups require different development paths and strategies. Sustainable intensification is an alternative strategy for farms in Group I and II, particularly if they were to contract the finishing stage of their cattle with Group III farms. In contrast, it is suggested that Group IV farms concentrate on pastoral production using low external inputs to enhance the production of "natural" beef for high-value niche markets, with positive externalities.
