“…Use of a plastic polyliner to cover the carcass during chilling either was ineffective (P 0.13) for altering shear force with LM or actually increased (P B0.04) shear force for semitendinosus and semimembranosus muscles. Recent work in our laboratory has shown no improvement in shear force when grainfed veal carcasses were shrouded with a plastic polyliner during chilling (Campbell et al 2013). The major benefit of the plastic polyliner in the veal work was to decrease carcass shrink, which was not evaluated in the present study.…”

“…Greater (P B0.03) L* values for beef from red cloverÁ timothy versus tall fescue silage-fed cattle (Table 5) across the three muscles are of questionable biological significance (Campbell et al 2013). On the basis of L* values, forage-silage-finished beef LM in the present study was darker than grass silage beef LM observed by Warren et al (2008), where L* values were similar for concentrate-and grass-silage-finished beef.…”

Berthiaume, R., Lafrenie`re, C., Girard, C., Campbell, C. P., Pivotto, L. M. and Mandell, I. B. 2015. Effects of forage silage species on yearling growth performance, carcass and meat quality, and nutrient composition in a forage based beef production system. Can. J. Anim. Sci. 95: 173Á187. Forty weaned, crossbred beef calves (predominantly Angus and Simmental) were forage-finished using all-silage diets (red cloverÁtimothy versus tall fescue) to examine forage species' effects on growth performance, carcass traits, meat quality, and nutrient composition. Weaned calves (257 d of age) were forage-finished using red cloverÁtimothy or tall fescue silage and harvested at approximately 1 yr of age. During carcass processing, one side from each carcass was covered with a polyliner to examine if reducing rates of chilling could compensate for limited fat cover expected from low dietary energy contents fed, and limited time on feed. Longissimus thoracis, semimembranosus, and semitendinosus steaks were aged 10, 14, and 21 d to examine effects on WarnerÁBratzler shear force values while fatty acid and vitamin B 12 composition were determined on 10-d-aged steaks. Average daily gain, feed efficiency, hot carcass weights, and longissimus muscle area were greater (P B0.03) when cattle were fed red cloverÁtimothy versus tall fescue silage, most likely due to the higher protein content of red cloverÁtimothy silage. Shear force was greater (PB0.002) in steaks from all muscles evaluated from cattle fed tall fescue versus red cloverÁtimothy silage. In comparison to 10-d-aged steaks, 14 d of ageing were needed to reduce (P B0.001) shear force for longissimus steaks, while 21 d of ageing were needed to reduce (PB0.001) shear force for semitendinosus steaks. Use of a polyliner decreased (P 00.0001) the rate of temperature decline at selected carcass sites, but did not reduce shear force values. The percent of n-3 fatty acids and polyunsaturated fatty acid/saturated fatty acid ratio were greater (PB0.04) in longissimus from cattle fed red cloverÁ timothy versus feeding tall fescue silage. Feeding red cloverÁtimothy silage improved growth performance, carcass, shear force, and fatty acid composition traits versus feeding tall fescue silage.

Licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International LicenseThis study was conducted to evaluate the selected fattening characteristics, carcass parameters and analysing of parameters associated with the meat quality of twenty Holstein male calves fed with different diets. Calves were after weaning divided into two groups with respect of feeding; control group fed with untreated total mixed ration (TMR) and experimental group, which received industrially dried alfalfa hay. Calves of both groups were after about 193 days slaughtered in the experimental abattoir. Subsequently, after chilling for 24 hours, detailed dissection of the right -carcass half was performed. For the nutritional characteristics, physical technological parameters and sensory properties, slices of loin (M. longissimus thoracis) and top round (M. semimembranosus) muscles were taken 24 hours post mortem. The average daily gains were higher in the experimental group of calves (P >0.05). Although calves of the control group had higher dressing percentage (50.23%; P >0.05), no significant differences were determined in the carcass weight (P >0.05). Proportions of some of intraabdominal fats were influenced by feeding concept; calves of alfalfa hay treated group had lower proportion of intestinal fat (P >0.05) and higher proportion of kidney fat (P >0.05). Differences in total amount of meat from right -half carcass were not significant (P >0.05); proportion of separable fat was higher in the experimental group of calves. In terms of individual valuable meat cuts, higher proportion of tenderloin was determined in the group fed with alfalfa hay (1.80%); however results were no significant. Statistical significant variety at the level P <0.05 were revealed in the moisture content, intramuscular fat content and energy value. The loin muscle from experimental group was lighter (CIE L*; P >0.05) 24 hours post mortem.

Glanc, D. L., Campbell, C. P., Cranfield, J., Swanson, K. C. and Mandell, I. B. 2015. Effects of production system and slaughter weight endpoint on growth performance, carcass traits, and beef quality from conventionally and naturally produced beef cattle. Can. J. Anim. Sci. 95: 37–47. Effects of production system and slaughter endpoint on performance, carcass traits, and beef quality were investigated in 64 Simmental cross steers (minimum 75% Continental breeding). Cattle were allocated to: (1) conventional production system based on use of implants and dietary ionophores or (2) natural production system in which no implants or ionophores were used. Within each production system, cattle were allocated for slaughter at 545 or 636 kg liveweight. Steers were fed an 85.5% concentrate diet based on high-moisture corn, soybean meal, and alfalfa silage. Average daily gain tended to be greater (P<0.06) in conventional production system cattle, while there was a trend (P<0.08) for production system by endpoint interactions for dry matter intake and gain to feed. Natural production system cattle tended to have greater (P<0.08) marbling and percent intramuscular fat (%IMF) with lower (P<0.09) longissimus shear force, while production system by endpoint interactions were present (P ≤ 0.03) for%IMF and carcass lean composition via rib dissection. At-home consumer evaluation of longissimus muscle steaks found tenderness, juiciness, flavour, and overall acceptability rankings were greater (P<0.01) for steaks slaughtered from heavier cattle (636 vs. 545 kg liveweight). Marketing cattle at lighter slaughter weights may have benefits for performance at the expense of eating quality.
