TL;DR: The myofibres of muscles from kangaroos can be quickly classified into five types using two commercially available antibodies and, when combined with enzymatic assays for oxidative and glycolytic activity, will allow for a better understanding of factors influencing the quality of meat from k Kangaroos.
Dissertation
Changes in Body composition and Maintenance efficiency during periods of restricted and maintenance feeding in immature and mature sheep
TL;DR: Differences in body composition do contribute to variation in maintenance requirements observed both within and between breeds, and improvements in biological efficiency gained by selection for proportionally fatter animals are diminished by a proportional reduction in the final product from the dam/offspring unit.
Journal ArticleDOI
Does a single adjustment in the meat standards Australia beef grading model cater for different hormonal growth promotant formulations
TL;DR: In this paper, a single Hormonal Growth Promotant (HGP) adjustment in the MSA beef grading model adequately predicted consumer eating quality of beef from cattle treated with different HGP formulations.
