    Fat is added to commercial feedlot rations as a concentrated energy source and to reduce dustiness and wear of feed processing machinery. We added fat at varying levels ( 0 to 6% of the ration) to study effects from fat ...
  • Effects of dressing procedures upon yield and quality of the beef tenderloin

    Removing kidney fat at slaughter did not affect (P>.05) the chilled or chilled-and-aged weights of the tenderloin. But small differences in tenderness and color at the beginning of the display period favored the conventional ...
  • Effects on carcass traits of beef ration energy level and length of feeding
    Allen, D.M.; Hunt, M.C.; Kastner, C.L.; Kropf, D.H.; Harrison, A.R.; Brent, B.E.; Riley, J. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station, 1978)
    We used 150 Angus yearling steers of similar background from the Livestock and Meat Industry Council cattle-flow project. Each was assigned to one of the 12 treatments (10 per treatment) involving low-, medium-, and ...
  • Nutritional effects of beef connective tissue characteristics and eating qualities
    Wu, J.J.; Kastner, C.L.; Hunt, M.C.; Kropf, D.H.; Allen, D.M. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station, 1981)
    We compared taste panel and connective tissue characteristics of beef fed a high energy diet with beef fed grass. The high energy diet produced higher USDA quality and yield grades, more rapid weight gain, and increased ...
  • Nutritional effects on beef palatability
    Burson, D.E.; Hunt, M.C.; Hayward, L.H.; Kastner, C.L.; Kropf, D.H.; Allen, D.M. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station, 1979)
    We assigned 112 Angus yearling steers to 14 nutritional treatments including control. Submaintenance, and 12 different combinations of ration energy (low, medium or high) and feeding period (56,91, 119, 147, or 175 days). ...
  • Performance and carcass characteristics of different cattle types
    Dikeman, M.E.; Loveday, H.D.; Allen, D.M. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station, 1977)
    Different cattle types were evaluated for growth, feed efficiency, and carcass and meat traits. Hereford (H), Angus (A), Red Poll (RP), Brown Swiss (BS), Gelbvieh (G), Maine Anjou (MA) and Chianina sires were mated ...
  • Performance and carcass characteristics of different cattle types
    Dikeman, M.E.; May, M.L.; Lipsey, R.J.; Loveday, H.D.; Allen, D.M. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station, 1975)
    Different cattle types were evaluated for growth, feed efficiency, and carcass and meat traits. Hereford, Angus, Jersey, South Devon, Limousin, Simmental, and Charolais sires were bred artificially to Angus and Hereford ...
