Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of the callipyge phenotype and cooking method on tenderness of several major lamb muscles
TL;DR: The data demonstrate that the callipyge phenotype will likely reduce consumer satisfaction due to reduced tenderness and juiciness; however, reduced tenderity in callipYge leg muscles could be prevented by ovenroasting.
Journal ArticleDOI
Protocol for evaluating the efficacy of cetylpyridinium chloride as a beef hide intervention.
Joseph M. Bosilevac,Tommy L. Wheeler,Mildred Rivera-Betancourt,Xiangwu Nou,Terrance M. Arthur,Steven D. Shackelford,Matthew Peter Kent,Divya Jaroni,Matthew S. Osborn,Michelle L. Rossman,James O. Reagan,Mohammad Koohmaraie +11 more
TL;DR: Results indicate that under the proper conditions, CPC may still be effective for reducing microbial populations on cattle hides and if this effect will result in reduction of hide-to-carcass contamination during processing.

Image analysis systems for grading of meat, predicting quality of meat and/or predicting meat yield of an animal carcass
TL;DR: In this paper, an image analysis system and method for grading of meat, predicting quality of meat and/or predicting meat yield of an animal is presented, where the camera is positioned such that it views the ribeye cross section at an angle to accommodate the wedge shape of the camera housing for ease of insertion in the incision.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of shade and feeding zilpaterol hydrochloride to finishing steers on performance, carcass quality, heat stress, mobility, and body temperature
Bradley M. Boyd,Steven D. Shackelford,Kristin E Hales,Tami M. Brown-Brandl,Meredith L. Bremer,Matthew L Spangler,Tommy L. Wheeler,David A. King,Galen E. Erickson +8 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that ZH improved HCW with little impact on heat stress or mobility, suggesting that animal welfare was not affected by feeding ZH for 21 d at the end of the feeding period.
Journal ArticleDOI
CAPN1, CAST, and DGAT1 genetic effects on preweaning performance, carcass quality traits, and residual variance of tenderness in a beef cattle population selected for haplotype and allele equalization.
Richard G. Tait,Steven D. Shackelford,Tommy L. Wheeler,David A. King,John W. Keele,Eduardo Casas,Timothy P. L. Smith,Gary L. Bennett +7 more
TL;DR: An effect of CAST on beef LM tenderness variation, and an effect of DGAT1 on subcutaneous fat thickness is confirmed and supportive of the importance of CAPN1 and CAST for mean tenderness in beef is supported.
