A total of 23 clinical isolates of Fusobacterium spp. were recovered at necropsy over a 2-year period from the respiratory tract of white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus). Isolates were identified as Fusobacterium ...
Chemical and elemental composition of big bluestem as affected by ecotype and planting location along the precipitation gradient of the Great Plains

Zhang, Ke; Johnson, Loretta; Nelson, Richard; Yuan, Wenqiao; Pei, Zhijian J.; Wang, Donghai (2012-10-09)

Three big bluestem ecotypes from central Kansas (Cedar Bluffs and Webster populations), eastern Kansas (Konza and Top of the World populations), and Illinois (12Mile and Fults populations), as well as the Kaw cultivar, ...
Chilling and cooking rate effects on some myofibrillar determinants of tenderness of beef

King, D.A.; Dikeman, Michael E.; Wheeler, T.L.; Kastner, Curtis L.; Koohmaraie, M. (American Society of Animal Science, 2008-06-02)

Our objectives were to examine the effects of prerigor excision and rapid chilling vs. conventional carcass chilling of two muscles on proteolysis and tenderness during the postmortem storage, as well as the effects ...
Clostridium Botulinum and foodborne illness

Aramouni, Fadi M.; Blakeslee, Karen (Kansas State University, )
Coating dog kibble with a commercial liquid acidifier reduces the risk of Salmonella cross-contamination

Huss, A. R.; Deliephan, A.; Fuller, J. C.; Jones, Cassandra K.

In recent years, several pet food recalls have been attributed to Salmonella contamination. In addition to the negative impacts on animal health, pet foods contaminated with Salmonella have been linked to infection in ...
Color and oxidative properties of irradiated beef

Kropf, Donald H.; Kastner, Curtis L. (Kansas State University, )
Color formation and retention in fresh beef

Kropf, Donald H.; Hunt, Melvin C.; Piske, D. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2010-12-01)

We conducted two studies in response to a severe problem with ground beef color encountered by beef fabricators and retailers. We concluded that: (1) Loss of muscle chemical-reducing capability upon grinding, with subsequent ...
Color stability of steaks from carcasses vascularly infused immediately after exsanguination

Hunt, Melvin C.; Schoenbeck, J.J.; Dobbels, T.E.; Dikeman, Michael E.; Stroda, Sally L. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2010-08-23)

Hereford × Angus carcasses were infused with a solution of either sugar/phosphate or calcium chloride immediately after exsanguination to determine effects on color stability during retail display. A calcium chloride ...
The combination of implanting with Revalor-200 and feeding Zilmax increases ribeye area of fed cows

Neill, S.; Marston, T.T.; Higgins, James J.; Unruh, John A.; Jaeger, John R. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2009-12-08)

Mature cows are typically removed from the cow herd for various reasons, such as reproductive inefficiency and poor performance. It has been estimated that as much as 15 to 25% of a ranch’s revenue may be from cull cows. ...
The combination of implanting with Revalor-200 and feeding zilmax increases subprimal meat yield of fed cows

Neill, S.; Marston, T.T.; Daniel, M.J.; Higgins, James J.; Unruh, John A.; Jaeger, John R. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2009-12-08)

Mature cows are culled from herds for reasons such as poor performance and failure to rebreed. When these cows are removed from the herd, they are typically in thin condition and potentially can be fed to gain weight and ...
Combinations of steam-flaked corn, dry-rolled corn, and dried distillers grains yield beef with similar yet subtle changes in sensory traits
