▼ In New Zealand, there is an increasing influence of dairy breeds in the production of beef. First-cross beef-cross-dairy cows have shown potential as beef breeding cows due to their greater milk yield than straight-bred beef cows. There have been few studies examining the finishing characteristics of the progeny of such cows. The objectives of this study were to investigate the effect of breed-cross on growth, carcass characteristics and meat quality attributes for progeny of beef and beef-cross-dairy cows grown in a New Zealand pastoral production system. This study also aimed to determine if there were differences in breed effects between heifers and steers. Growth, carcass characteristics and the meat quality were assessed for steers and heifers from beef and beef-cross-dairy cows. Heifers (n=53) and steers (n=50) were born to Angus (AA), Angus-cross-Friesian (AF), Angus-cross- KiwiCross (AK) and Angus-cross-Jersey (AJ) cows and sired by Charolais (C) bulls. Heifers and steers were grazed on pasture until slaughter at 574 and 784 days of age respectively. Live animal measurements were considered separately for heifers and steers. Carcass characteristics and meat quality attributes were compared among breed-crosses and between heifers and steers. The C-AA heifers (226.8±4.7 kg) and steers (238.8±4.6 kg) were lighter at weaning than the beef-cross-dairy breed heifers (C-AJ = 239.9 ±4.6 kg, C-AK = 254.7±6.3 kg, C-AF = 258.9±5.7 kg) and steers (C-AJ = 256.1±4.9 kg, C-AK = 257.0±7.2 kg, C-AF = 267.0±5.7 kg) (P<0.05); however, there were no differences in the final live weight of breed-crosses (P>0.05). The C-AA (53.1±0.3 %) steers had a greater dressing-out percentage than C-AF (51.9±0.4 %) and C-AJ (51.5±0.3 %) steers (P<0.05). There were no differences in carcass weight, length, eye muscle area and fat depth C among breed-crosses (P>0.05). Steers were longer, heavier, had a greater fat depth C and greater proportion of intramuscular fat than heifers (P<0.05). Generally there was no difference in the meat quality among breed-crosses (P>0.05), except that C-AJ cattle had yellower fat than C-AA, and C-AA and C-AF cattle had redder fat than C-AK. There was no interaction of breed-cross with sex effects. Therefore, the C-AA cattle were more suited to a finishing system than C-AF, C-AK and C-AJ cattle.

▼ Prerigor pressurization of bovine semimembranosus muscle at 103.5 MNm⁻² (15,000 psi) for two min at 35°C significantly decreased (P<0.01) muscle pH, and significantly (P<0.01) increased the rate of glycogen degradation during the first 4 hr postmortem. Glycogen levels of pressurized muscle were significantly (P<0.01) lower than those of the control at 1, 2 and 4 hr postmortem. Glucose concentrations were significantly (P<0.01) higher in the treated muscle than in the control at all sampling periods. Until 4 hr postmortem the level of glucose-6-phosphosphate was higher in pressure-treated muscle than in the control. Lactate content increased rapidly after pressurization (1 hr postmortem), resulting in an immediate drop in pH; however, there was no significant difference between control and treated muscles at 24 hr. Pressurized muscle showed a significant (P<0.01) increase in lactate dehydrogenase activity over that of the control muscle at 1 hr but not at 24 hr. Pressurization accelerated catabolism of both creatine phosphate and adenosine triphosphate which resulted in a higher ATP turnover value than that of the control. R-values (a measure of metabolic rate) were significantly correlated (r=-0.95) with degradation of ATP. CPK activity was significantly higher (P<0.01) in pressurized muscle than in the control at 1 hr postmortem but not at 24 hr. Concentrations of ATP, adenosine diphosphate (ADP), adenosine monophosphate (AMP), inosine monophosphate (IMP), bases and nucleosides (adenosine, adenine, inosine, hypoxanthine) and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) were determined by high pressure liquid chromatography. Pressurization completely depleted the ATP supply and increased the IMP concentration at 1, 4 and 24 hr postmortem. At 24 hr postmortem, control samples had more ADP whereas the AMP concentration was higher in the pressurized samples at 1 hr postmortem but not at 24 hr. Concentrations of bases and nucleoside metabolites and NAD did not differ between treatments. Advisors/Committee Members: Anglemier, A. F. (advisor), Montgomery, Morris W. (committee member).

▼ Approximately 2 million surplus calves are produced annually by the New Zealand dairy industry, which are generally processed at around one week of age as “bobby” calves. Concerns surrounding animal welfare issues, due to the ethics of slaughtering calves at such a young age, pose a threat to the industry’s social licence to farm, consumer acceptability and market access. In addition, the beef sector also faces the challenge of improving production efficiency, whilst minimising environmental impacts. To address these issues, a novel yearling beef production system is proposed, that would utilise dairy-origin calves and implement a slaughter age of between eight and twelve months. The objective of this study was to compare carcass characteristics and meat quality attributes of Hereford x Friesian-Jersey steers slaughtered at eight, ten and twelve months of age, in order to understand the potential saleable meat yields and type of meat product that could be sourced from yearling dairy-origin cattle. Additionally, the study aimed to determine if postmortem ageing had an effect on meat quality attributes. Sixty Hereford x Friesian-Jersey weaner steer calves born in spring 2017 were sourced from a commercial calf rearer at three months of age (average 103±1 kg live weight). The calves were managed as a single group; however, they were randomly pre-assigned at eight months of age to one of three slaughter treatments: eight, ten and twelve months of age. Steers were grazed on herb-clover pastures and brassica crops from December 2017 to March 2018, then on ryegrass and white clover pasture until slaughter. Steers were processed in May, July and September 2018 at eight, ten and twelve months of age respectively, at Venison Packers Feilding Ltd. Growth rates of the three slaughter groups averaged 0.9 kg/day and did not differ between treatments. The final unfasted live weights prior to slaughter at eight, ten and twelve months of age were 252±6 kg, 303±4 kg and 348±5 kg respectively (P<0.001), which corresponded to carcass weights of 119±3 kg, 146±3 kg and 174±3 kg (P<0.001). Steers slaughtered at twelve months of age achieved a greater dressing-out percentage (50.0±0.2%) than steers slaughtered at eight (47.2±0.2%) and ten (47.4±0.2%) months of age (P<0.001). Rib fat depth, P8 fat depth and eye muscle area measured by ultrasound increased at each age (P<0.001). Fat depths at all three ages were below 3 mm, which is the minimum fat depth required for steers to be classified in the ‘P’ fat class designating 3-10 mm of subcutaneous fat, under the current beef carcass classification system. The muscle to bone ratio, intramuscular fat content and yellowness of carcass fat all increased progressively with slaughter age. Objective meat quality attributes were measured on the M. longissimus lumborum (striploin). The caudal half of each striploin muscle was aged for 21 days in vacuum packaging, while the cranial half was frozen…

▼ The New Zealand dairy industry produces approximately 4.2 million calves annually, of which about 30% are retained within the dairy industry, while a further 20% are utilised in the beef industry. The remainder are surplus to requirements, and the majority (1.7 million per annum) are processed in the low value bobby calf trade. This model appears sub-optimal, with an estimated opportunity cost in excess of NZD $1 billion annually, and numerous animal welfare and ethical issues. Farming surplus dairy calves in an accelerated-cycle beef production enterprise for slaughter prior to one-year of age, could generate favourable outcomes, and the current study aimed to investigate this opportunity. Experimental growth and carcass data for Hereford x Friesian-Jersey steers slaughtered at 8-, 10- and 12- months of age was obtained in a live-animal trial. Simulation models (referred to as NGB8, NGB10 and NGB12 where the figures refer to monthly ages at slaughter) utilising Microsoft EXCEL feed budgets, gross margin analysis and the OVERSEER nutrient budget model were developed from the experimental data to estimate the physical, financial, and environmental performance of accelerated-cycle beef production at each slaughter age. Results were compared to a simulated high and low performing bull- beef enterprise based on the literature, with slaughter occurring at 18- or 24-months, to determine the relative performance of accelerated-cycle beef production. The model comparators are referred to as Bull18 and Bull24. In the trial, the accelerated-cycle beef production (NGB) steers achieved slaughter weights of 252, 303 and 348 kg at 8-, 10- and 12-months of age (119, 146 and 174 kg carcass weight). The dressing out percentage was the same in the 8- and 10-month treatments (P>0.05) but increased in the 12-month treatment (P<0.001). Using the ‘prime’ beef price, NGB8 and NGB10 generated a loss, while NGB12 was profitable. To be financially competitive with Bull18 or Bull24, NGB production required a price premium of 11 – 29% above the ‘prime’ beef schedule. There was insufficient evidence to suggest NGB production had a lower nutrient loss footprint, or reduced greenhouse gas output compared to bull-beef production. Further analysis showed weaner genetic merit for growth had a positive relationship with profitability, but no interaction with environmental output under NGB production. Overall, this study demonstrated that Hereford x Friesian-Jersey steers can grow well under typical beef finishing conditions. Given that accelerated-cycle beef production’s environmental output is similar to bull-beef production, profitability is the key determinant of the concept’s viability. Although NGB production with slaughter occurring at 12-months of age was profitable under the ‘prime’ beef classification, a premium of 11 – 29% (depending on slaughter age) would be required for the proposed enterprise to be financially competitive with bull-beef production. However, research has…

Este trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar o desempenho de bovinos inteiros ou castrados em sistema intensivo de integração lavoura-pecuária. O trabalho realizado durante os anos de 2004 e 2005 foi conduzido na Fazenda Experimental da Cooperativa Agropecuária Mourãoense COAMO, situada no município de Campo Mourão, Paraná. O delineamento experimental utilizado foi o inteiramente ao acaso, com dois tratamentos, inteiros ou castrados, e vinte repetições. Foram utilizados 40 animais mestiços, ½ Angus-Nelore, com idade média inicial de nove meses e metade castrada a desmama. A pastagem foi composta por duas áreas. O pasto de inverno, implantado após a cultura da soja, com uma mistura de gramíneas anuais temperadas, aveia preta (Avena strigosa) e azevém (Lolium multiforum). A pastagem de verão utilizada foi a grama estrela roxa (Cynodon plectostachyus Pilger) e o capim Mombaça (Panicum maximum). Durante o período de inverno os animais permaneceram sob pastejo contínuo com carga animal variável e no período de verão o método de pastejo foi o sistema intensivo rotacionado, com carga animal variável e período fixo de ocupação. Os animais inteiros apresentaram maiores pesos ao abate, ganho de peso médio diário e peso de carcaça quente. A idade ao abate dos animais foi influenciada pelo tratamento, sendo menor nos inteiros. Não se observou diferença para o rendimento de carcaça. Os animais castrados apresentaram valores maiores para o acabamento em gordura de cobertura e espessuras de gordura subcutânea quando comparados aos inteiros.

This research had as objective to evaluate the performance of intact or castrated beef cattle in crop-pasture rotation system. The experiment was conducted during 2004 and 2005, and carried out at the Cooperativa Agropecuária Mourãoense COAMO Experimental Farm, in Campo Mourão city, Paraná state. It was used a completely randomized design, with two treatments, intact or castrated, and twenty replicates. Forty ½ Angus-Nelore crossbred animals, with average age of nine months, were used. Half of the animals were castrated at weaning. Pasture was composed of two areas. The winter field, established after soybean crop, was composed by a mixture of black oat (Avena strigosa) and Italian ryegrass (Lolium multiforum). The summer field was composed by stargrass (Cynodon plectostachyus Pilger) and Mombaça grass (Panicum maximum). During the winter time it was used a continues grazing system, with regulator animals (put and take), and during the summer an intensive rotational system, with regulator animals and fixed grazing period. Intact animals presented higher slaughter weight, average daily weight gain and hot carcass weight. Slaughter age was influenced by treatment, being lesser in the intact animals. Carcass dressing percentage was similar for the groups. Castrated animals showed better fat cover finishing and backfat thickness compared to intact ones.

▼ The basic objective of this thesis was to estimate the economic effects of yield grade standards for carcass beef on the various market sectors of the Canadian beef industry. The adoption of the standards was expected to enhance consumer demand, improve efficiency within the processing and marketing services sectors, and improve resource allocation and revenues of livestock producers. A conceptual model showing the interrelationships among market sectors was developed and formulated into a system of equations for econometric estimation. The model contained variables relating to the supply and demand of market participants affected by the change in grading standards. Measurement of these variables was based on published quarterly data, including four years of yield grading, over the 1961-76 period. The statistical results showed a significant economic variables relating to the supply and demand of market participants affected by the change in grading standards. Measurement of these variables was based on published quarterly data, including four years of yield grading, over the 1961-76 period. Binary variables were incorporated in the model to identify any structural change in the relationships coincident with the grade change. Problems in estimation arose due to the simultaneous nature of the model, and intercorrelation problems involving predicted prices for adjacent market levels in certain structural equations. Two alternative specifications of the processing and marketing services relationships were formulated to address this problem. First, variables relating to demand at the adjacent market level were substituted for the corresponding price. The second method involved the ratio of adjacent market level prices. Both specifications resolved the problem,, but in the substitution case intercorrelation was transferred to other variables. Estimates of the parameters of the various equations were obtained by using the two stage least squares regression procedure. The statistical results showed a significant economic impact of yield grades, as measured by the slope and intercept binary variables, in the estimated retailer demand and producer supply equations. But, these results cannot be considered conclusive. A lack of information concerning impact of yield grades, as measured by slope and intercept binary variables, in the estimated retailer demand and producer supply equations. But, these results cannot be considered conclusive. A lack of information concerning historical costs in the processing and marketing sectors necessitated the use of proxy variables which may not have accurately captured the full impact of the grade change. A further problem was that potential yield grade adjustments in carcass weights were dominated by the effects of rapidly rising feed grain prices throughout the grade change period.

▼ Carcasses in the Japanese beef market are rewarded for increased yield and superior meat quality traits such as marbling, fat colour, meat colour and firmness and texture of meat. Due to the relatively high cost of feedlotting New Zealand compared with North America and Australia, genetic improvement may provide a low-cost alternative for improving beef quality destined for the Japanese market. The objectives of this study were to characterise meat quality traits for a sample of New Zealand pasture-finished beef cattle and determine the potential rate of genetic gain for these traits through selection. Records on 24 146 Angus and 5 632 Hereford carcasses processed at Manawatu Beef Packers between March 1993 and August 1994 which had been evaluated for beef marbling standard (BMS), beef fat standard (BFS) and beef colour standard (BCS) were used to derive overall meat quality score. Overall meat quality score in the Japanese grading system is determined by the lowest grade from: semi-objective assessment for BMS, BFS and BCS; and subjective assessment for meat brightness, firmness and texture, fat lustre and quality. Subjective measures of meat and fat quality are not routinely recorded at this plant and therefore overall meat quality score could only account for the three recorded items. The majority of Angus and Hereford carcasses (84.0 and 82.9%) had an overall meat quality score of 1 (inferior) and no carcasses had score 5 (excellent). Improvement of one grade in BMS (or BFS) for Angus carcasses decreased the proportion of score 1 carcasses to 12.8% (or 74.7%) and improved overall meat quality score from an average of 1.17 to 1.96 (or 1.29). A change of one grade in BMS (or BFS) for Hereford carcasses decreased the proportion of score 1 carcasses to 16.1% (or 66.8%) and changed overall meat quality score from an average of 1.18 to 1.90 (or 1.35). Selection based on a well-designed progeny test would take 5 (or 9) years to improve BMS (or BFS) by one grade. Biological factors introduce a lag of at least six years from the start of test matings until there can be widespread harvest of beef cattle with improved meat quality. Selection for BMS can improve overall meat quality score more effectively and more rapidly than selection for other meat quality traits. Some Angus sires used in New Zealand are sourced from North America where sire expected progeny differences (EPD) for carcass traits are based on performance of feedlot finished progeny. Sires may rank differently based on progeny records from feedlot-finished cattle (North America) and pasture-finished progeny performance in New Zealand. The objective of this study was to determine importance of genotype by environment interaction effects when sires from a New Zealand Angus progeny test programme were evaluated based on pasture-finished and feedlot-finished progeny records. Fourteen Angus sires were evaluated for live weight, carcass and meat quality traits based on records from pasture and feedlot finished steer progeny. Estimated breeding values (EBV's) of…

▼ One hundred twenty Angus steers with an initial body weight (BW) of 288 kg were fed for 165 d to evaluate the effects of a steam-flaked high-oil corn-based diet (HOC) vs a steam-flaked normal corn plus added fat-based (CON) diet. The two diets were balanced to be isocaloric and isonitrogenous. Steers were assigned randomly by weight to one of the two treatments and housed five per pen, with 12 pens per treatment. Steers were fed once daily and weighed every 28 d throughout the study. Performance records including average daily gain (ADG), dry matter intake (DMI), and feed:gain ratio were recorded for each 28-d period. Following the 165-d feeding period, the steers were shipped to a commercial slaughter facility where carcass data were collected and recorded. Initial BW did not differ between treatments, whereas final BW tended (P < .08) to be greater for steers fed the CON diet. Steers fed CON had increased ADG during d 0 to 28 (P< .03), d 0 to 84 (P < .02), and for the overall 165-d feeding period (P < .04). Daily DMI did not differ (P > . 10) between treatments for any of the cumulative periods; however, steers fed HOC averaged approximately .23 kg/d more DMI for the entire 165-d feeding period. Feed:gain ratio was superior for steers fed CON for each of the cumulative periods (P < .01 to P < .03). Moreover, for the 165-d feeding period feed:gain ratio was improved 7.5% (P < .01) for steers fed CON. Hot carcass weight, dressing percent, fat thickness, kidney, pelvic, and heart fat (KPH), and yield grade did not differ between treatments. Steers fed HOC tended (P < .07) to have a smaller longissimus muscle area as well as a lower (7.4% decrease; P < .01) marbling score than steers fed CON. Percentage of carcasses grading USDA Choice did not differ between treatments. These data contradict previous experiments with HOC, which showed improvements in performance and carcass characteristics with HOC diets; however, previous experiments involved shorter feeding periods than in the present study.

▼ The need to improve the quality and consistency of beef has been a concern of researchers, producers, packers, retailers, and restaurateurs for decades. As consumers strive to find a convenient, healthy, affordable, palatable food sources, the beef industry has fallen behind. Beefs lack of consistency, convenience, and the health concerns associated with eating beef have resulted in lost market share to other protein sources. The beef industry needs to identify means of providing consumers with high quality, convenient products. This dissertation evaluates methods to improve the quality and consistency of beef First, a study was conducted to determine if a guaranteed tender beef steak could be successfully offered to consumers in retail stores. This study utilized a new technology, middle meat electrical stimulation, to improve tenderness and also evaluated six different cattle breed types. Electrical stimulation did not improve tenderness (P > .05). However, electrical stimulation did improve (P < .05) marbling score, quality grade, and lean color. No palatability differences (P > .05) were found between breed types. Moreover, 99% of the steaks had Warner-Bratzler shear (WBS) values less than 4.5 kg. Thus, providing consumers with a guaranteed tender beef steak can be accomplished. A second study was conducted to utilize objective color measurements to identify tough beef carcasses from others. This study used CIE L*, a* and b* color measurements determined from the previous experience to determine if specific objective color measurements could be used to identify carcasses that produced tough steaks. Carcasses were selected that had L*, a* and b* values below 32.5, 20.5 and 20.5. A higher proportion of these carcasses (P < .05), 73.7%, had WBS values greater than 4.5 kg. Therefore, identifying a portion of the carcasses that produce tough steaks using objective color measurements can be accomplished efficiently and effectively. Both projects provided results that can be utilized by the beef industry to improve the quality and consistency of beef that is sold to consumers.

▼ The growth rate and carcass characteristics of rangy and short conformation types of steers in Angus, Hereford and Beef Shorthorn breeds were compared in two trials (Trials X and XI) at Massey University. Rangy and short type weaner steers were chosen on the basis of visual assessment of conformation by experienced stockmen. The Angus steers in Trial X came from the one herd as did the Hereford steers in Trial XI. The two types of Angus (Trial XI) and Beef Shorthorn (Trial X) steers were bred in four different herds. Types within a breed were chosen by the same people, but different persons selected the representative steers in each breed. The steers were grazed together at pasture (except for a short period on a wintering yard in their second year of life) and weighed "full" at various intervals. They were slaughtered at an age of about 30 months. They were processed according to normal commercial practice and various aspects of carcass yield, composition and data on carcass weight, grade, fat colour, and chiller shrinkage were collected, various carcass measurements were taken and the weights of fat and bone were recorded for the right side quarters of each carcass. Fifteen steers were purchased of each type. Trial X concluded in March 1976 (after a period of 625 days) with 13 rangy and 14 short Angus steers, and 14 rangy and 15 short Beef Shorthorn steers. There were no animal losses in Trial XI (633 days) which finished in April 1977 (with 15 steers in each type group) in which the two types in the Angus and Hereford breeds were compared. The results were analysed within trials by the fitting constants procedure using fixed-effects linear models. Type effects were compared within each breed group. One model included the right side of the cold carcass as a covariate for some aspects of the carcass data analysed within a breed. Rangy type steers in each breed had heavier initial and final liveweights and carcass weights than short type steers. Rangy steers grew more rapidly than short steers in three of the four comparisons. There was no significant difference in growth rate between types of Angus steers in either trial. Rangy Angus steers gained 0.02 kg/day (n.s.) more than short Angus steers in Trial X, but the short steers grew faster in Trial XIf 0.03 kg/day (n.s.) and they may have exhibited compensatory growth in the first half of the trial. Rangy Beef Shorthorn and Hereford steers showed a greater superiority in growth rate (Beef Shorthorn 0.07 kg/day, P<0.001; Hereford 0.06 kg/day, P<0.001), compared with short type steers of these two breeds. These differences are important advantages in beef production, however the large difference in growth rate meant that because all steers were slaughtered at the same time (to meet the experimental design) the faster-growing Beef Shorthorn and Hereford steers were carried to much heavier weights than would be normal in most farming situations and this adversely affected their carcass composition, because of higher proportions of fat resulting from their heavier carcass…
