Nutrient Composition of Bison Fed Concentrate Diets

Meat Colour Stability and Fatty Acid Profile in Commercial Bison and Beef

“…Fat content in commercial Canadian bison cuts has been reported to range between 0.31 and 1.08 % (Galbraith et al 2006). On the other hand, Marchello et al (1998) reported higher values in meat from bison fed concentrate diets (1.6-2.4 %). Total fat content influences the fatty acid composition of meat, as low concentrations of total lipids in muscle lead to a relative increase in the proportion of membrane phospholipids, which have higher proportions of PUFA (Wood et al 2008).…”

Frozen bison and fur trapper's journals: building a prey choice model for Idaho's Snake River Plain

“…These analyses extract and measure the amount of protein, moisture, fat, ash, cholesterol and energy contained in 100 g of a specific food. The caloric value of 100 g of bison meat ranged from 136 calories to 145 calories, depending on the specific cut [29]. To convert calories to kilocalories, these figures are multiplied by 10 (i.e., caloric value of 1000 g rather than 100 g).…”

“…To do this, H i be multiplied by the kilograms of meat available per bison. For use in the equation, the 354 kg of meat available per bison will be expressed as "µ i " and the caloric value of bison meat (1450 kilocalories per kilogram) established by Marchello [29] will be represented as "E i ". The following equation will then produce the net return rate for each journal account: Table 9 presents the estimated return rates for bison hunting based on the numbers generated from the narratives of Ogden, Russell and Townsend.…”

“…The caloric value of bison meat was obtained from an analysis of the nutritional composition of lean bison cuts, including ribeye and sirloin [29]. Standard nutritional analyses are performed on all foods to fulfill requirements set by the United States Department of Agriculture.…”

Vitamin and Selenium Content of Ribeye Cuts From Grass‐ and Grain‐finished Bison of the Same Herd

“…Over 350,000 bison are currently being raised for meat in North America (National Bison Association 2004). Bison meat is low in fat and food energy and high in protein (Marchello et al . 1989, 1998; Koch et al .…”
