Meat quality of different beef cattle breeds fed high energy forage

This paper presents the results of crossing Domestic Spotted breed with beef cattle breeds in the People's Republic of China and the Republic of Serbia. China is a big country of beef production and consumption. In 2012, beef production in China was 5,540,000 tons, which accounted for 9.7% of the global beef production, ranking the third in the world. The main sources of China?s beef are from crossbreeding cattle (native breed crossbred with foreign beef cattle). Simmental cattle are the most-widely used beef cattle in China?s improved beef cattle. China has cultivated its own Simmental after over 40 years? crossbreeding and improvement. China?s consumers mainly have three demands for beef quality as follows: expensive beef produced from Wagyu crossbreed with better marbling; lean beef from Simmental, Charolais and Limousin crossbreeds, top parts supplied to hotels while common parts to supermarkets; veal from cow calves. Chinese researchers are carrying out researches which are centered on marbling beef, lean beef and veal on complete techniques of good breed, feeding management, slaughter and cutting and carcass classification. At present, researchers have lively interest in functional genomics of meat quality traits of cattle, they expect to use these methods to study meat quality traits and then improve the meat quality. Improved cattle breeds universally utilized in China are mainly Simmental followed by Charolais, Limousin, Wagyu and Angus. Other three cattle breeds including Belgian blue cattle, Piedmontese and Gelbvien have ever been applied, however, rarely used in present beef cattle production. Republic of Serbia has in the future to quickly and efficiently provide adequate quantities of top quality meat. One of the ways to increase the yield and quality of the meat is crossing of Domestic spotted cattle of lower production traits with French beef cattle breeds. Beef production in the EU is adapted to the consumer taste. Meat must have a light red colour, equally suffused with fat and with pronounced sensory characteristics such as tenderness, juiciness, flavour and aroma. The results on the quality of meat of F1 generation crosses (Domestic Spotted breed with French beef cattle breeds Charolais and Limousine) indicate that by industrial crossing beef, meat-packing and organoleptic characteristics of meat can be improved.

AbstractThe aim of this study was to rank diverse beef cattle genotypes for meat quality characteristics and to determine whether that ranking changed depending on the environment in which the animals were finished. Breed groups, ranging from 100% Bos indicus to 100% Bos taurus content, were derived from Indian zebu (Brahman), African zebu (Boran), British breeds (Hereford-Shorthorn), continental breeds (Charolais and Simmental) and Sanga (Tuli and Belmont Red). Heavy steers (>600 kg) were raised in a tropical environment and finished either on pasture or in a feedlot.For striploins (longissimus) from feedlot finished steers, cooking loss was greatest for zebu (Z) steaks, least for British (B) steaks (P < 0·001), and intermediate for the other breeds. For striploins from pasture finished steers and eye rounds (semitendinosus) from both pasture finished and feedlot finished steers, there were no breed differences in cooking loss.For both feedlot finished and pasture finished steers, striploin steaks from B steers were most tender, and Sanga (S) and zebu × continental cross (ZC) steaks were more tender than Z steaks. Warner-Bratzler initial yields suggested that the lower toughness of these breeds was due to lower myofibrillar toughness. Peak force minus initial yield suggested a smaller, opposite effect of increasing connective tissue toughness associated with increasing Bos taurus content. This breed effect on connective tissue toughness was more prominent in the eye round samples. In the feedlot finished steers, Z eye round was as tender as B eye round. In pasture finished steers, Z eye round had a peak force 1·3 kg lower than B in contrast to the results for striploin where Z was 1·2 kg higher than B. Sanga eye round followed the same trend as B relative to Z but to a lesser extent. From the feedlot, S eye round was more tender than Z eye round and from pasture, S eye round was the same as Z eye round. There was no evidence of heterosis f or any meat quality attribute.These results are best explained in terms of a model incorporating differential effects of breed on the myofibrillar and connective tissue components of toughness. The implications of this study are that the tenderness of grilling and roasting cuts of meat from the predominantly Brahman-based beef herd of northern Australia can be improved through crossbreeding with any of the taurine breeds studied.

Abstract: The need for fulfilling the quantity and quality of beef in Indonesia is still very less than the supply of beef in Indonesia, for 2020 alone the demand for beef in Indonesia is around 700,000 tons while the domestic supply is only 400,000 tons, from that Indonesia is still 300,000 tons less. Therefore, to meet the beef needs, an additional supply of beef is needed by importing beef from abroad in the form of processed meat and prospective beef breeders. The problem experienced by independent local breeders is the selection of the best cattle breeds The process of selecting cattle breeds conducted so far by farmers is still manual and traditional. They did this because of the lack of qualified knowledge to choose the best beef breed based on certain criteria and which alternative cow options are suitable for beef cattle. So that the process of enlarging cattle breeds becomes shorter in time with maximum results. The technology used is using the MOORA and WASPAS methods as a comparison in determining the best beef cattle breeds. The method is expected to produce a comparison so that the results obtained from a more accurate method in selecting the best beef breeders in order to advance the local independent livestock business in particular and become self-sufficient beef in general.

Oleh karena itu, untuk mencukupi kebutuhan daging sapi tersebut diperlukan tambahan suplai daging sapi dengan melakukan impor daging sapi dari luar negeri baik berupa daging olahan maupun bakalan calon bibit sapi. Masalah yang dialami oleh para peternak lokal mandiri yaitu pemilihan bibit sapi terbaik Proses pemilihan bibit sapi yang dilakukan selama ini oleh peternak masih dengan cara manual dan tradisional. Hal tersebut mereka lakukan Karena kurangnya pengetahuan yang mumpuni untuk memilih bibit sapi terbaik berdasarkan kriteria-kriteria tertentu dan beberapa pilihan alternatif sapi mana yang cocok untuk dijadikan sapi potong. Sehingga dengan demikian proses pembesaran bibit sapi menjadi lebih singkat waktunya dengan hasil yang maksimal. Teknologi yang digunakan yaitu menggunakan metode MOORA dan WASPAS sebagai pembanding dalam menetukan bibit sapi potong terbaik. Dari metode tersebut diharapkan menghasilkan perbandingan sehingga didapat hasil dari metode yang lebih akurat dalam pemilihan bibit sapi terbaik demi memajukan usaha peternakan mandiri lokal secara khusus dan menjadi swasembada daging sapi secara umum.

Growth performance, carcass characteristics and meat quality of European and British crossbred (EBC; no Wagyu genetics; 28 heifers and 30 steers) cattle were compared with crossbred cattle with 75% Wagyu genetics (WC; seven heifers and 14 steers) to determine the influence of Wagyu genetics on marbling grade of beef cattle fed barley-based diets in a factorial design experiment. Weaned calves (250 d average age) were fed, one of two diets (diet 1, 35% barley grain; diet 2, 40% hay cubes on DM basis, with barley silage, protein and vitamin/mineral premix) for 84 d and then fed diet 1 until they weighed 394 to 432 kg. All cattle were finished on an 80% (DM basis) rolled barley diet and slaughtered. Carcasses were graded and samples procured for meat quality and Warner–Bratzler shear force determination. Number of days on backgrounding diets to arrive at target weight (380 kg) was greater (P < 0.05) for the WC cattle, owing to relatively lower ADG, but days on the finishing diet were fewer for these cattle, compared with EBC cattle. Warm carcass yield (dressing percent) was greater (P < 0.05), but backfat depth was lower (P < 0.05) for WC cattle relative to that of EBC cattle, yet proportion of lean meat yield was similar. Eighty three percent of WC cattle carcasses had Canada AAA (small or more) marbling grade compared with 13% for EBC cattle carcasses. Mean shear force of meat samples from EBC and WC cattle was 4.2 and 3.8 kg, respectively. Results indicated that the extent of carcass marbling can be increased by incorporating Wagyu genetics but age at slaughter of WC cattle was 19 d greater than that of EBC cattle and carcass size was reduced.
