O objetivo deste experimento foi comparar as características qualitativas de carcaças de 36 cordeiros terminados em pastagem de coastcross, sendo 13 Corriedale, 14 Bergamácia x Corriedale e 9 Hampshire Down x Corriedale, e 29 cordeiros terminados em confinamento, sendo 10 Corriedale, 11 Bergamácia x Corriedale e 8 Hampshire Down x Corriedale. As médias das variáveis (escala de 1 a 5) condição corporal: 2,70 e 3,13; conformação: 2,65 e 3,35; e cobertura de gordura: 2,43 e 2,95; foram superiores para os cordeiros do confinamento que para cordeiros em pastagem. Na escala de 1 a 3, foram avaliadas a cor da gordura: 1,66 e 1,94; cor da carne: 1,66 e 1,72; e consistência de gordura: 1,62 e 1,83, respectivamente, para os cordeiros em pastagem e em confinamento. A área de olho de lombo foi significativamente (10,21 vs. 9,03 cm²), bem como a espessura de gordura de cobertura: 1,10 vs. 1,70 mm, foi superior para os cordeiros confinados. As médias das porcentagens de músculo no lombo foram de 54,92 e 57,94%; para gordura, 9,29 e 12,95%; e osso, 35,78 e 29,10%, respectivamente, para cordeiros em pastagem e confinamento. Entre os sistemas de terminação, não houve diferenças para porcentagem de proteína (19,71 e 19,10%, respectivamente), mas houve diferença para teor de lipídios, com 5,43% para cordeiros em pastejo e 11,54% para cordeiros confinados. Para as variáveis analisadas não houve diferenças significativas entre os cruzamentos.

Os objetivos neste experimento foram gerar informações sobre a composição física e as relações músculo:osso, músculo:gordura e porção comestível:osso do lombo de ovelhas abatidas em diferentes estágios fisiológicos, além das possíveis correlações entre as variáveis avaliadas neste estudo. Foram utilizadas 21 ovelhas Santa Inês, distribuídas nos respectivos estágios fisiológicos: OL = ovelhas que permaneceram por 60 dias em lactação com seus respectivos cordeiros e abatidas um dia após o desmame dos mesmos; OSC = ovelhas que permaneceram por 60 dias em lactação com seus respectivos cordeiros e por mais um período aproximado de 30 dias sem os cordeiros e posteriormente abatidas; e ONP = ovelhas que permaneceram por 60 dias em confinamento e que não pariram durante o ano. Os percentuais de músculos e gorduras intermuscular e comestível foram semelhantes entre os estágios fisiológicos. O abate de ovelhas em diferentes estágios fisiológicos alterou a relação porção comestível:osso do lombo. Maiores proporções de gordura subcutânea corresponderam a menores quantidades de gordura intermuscular no lombo ou vice-versa.

Twenty eight Mediterranean buffaloes bulls were scanned with real-time ultrasound (RTU), slaughtered, and fabricated into retail cuts to determine the potential for ultrasound measures to predict carcass retail yield. Ultrasound measures of fat thickness, ribeye area and rump fat thickness were recorded three to five days prior to slaughter. Carcass measurements were taken, and one side of each carcass was fabricated into retail cuts. Stepwise regression analysis was used to compare possible models for prediction of either kilograms or percent retail product from carcass mesaurements and ultrasound measures. Results indicate that possible prediction models for percent or kilograms of retail products using RTU measures were similar in their predictive power and accuracy when compared to models derived from carcass measurements. Both fat thickness and ribeye area were over-predicted when measured ultrasonically compared to measurements taken on the carcass in the cooler. The mean absolute differences for both traits are larger than the mean differences, indicating that some images were interpreted to be larger and some smaller than actual carcass measurements. Ultrasound measurements of REA and FT had positive correlations with carcass measures of the same traits (r=.96 for REA and r=.99 for FT). Standard errors of prediction currently are being used as the standard to certify ultrasound technicians for accuracy. Regression equations using live weight (LW), rib eye area (REAU) and subcutaneous fat thickness (FTU) between 12(th) and 13 (th) ribs and also over the biceps femoris muscle (FTP8) by ultrasound explained 95% of the variation in the hot carcass weight when measure immediately before slaughter.

The objective of this work was to evaluate deposition pattems of body tissues of Nellore and crossbreed with Angus and Simmental heifers. Fifty seven heifers (19 Nellore, 19 Angus and 19 Simmental) were used, being 12 heifers (four in each genetic group) slaughtered before the beginning of the experiment as the baseline group. Thirty six (twelve in each genetic group) were ad libitun fed with 30 (six in each group) and 50% (six in each group) of dry matter diet in concentrate. The animals were in a completely randomized design, 3x2 factorial (tree genetic group and two diet), with six replicates per treatment. Nine remaining animals were used for a digestibility trial. At the end of the experiment all these animals were slaughtered and its corporal composition determined. The percentage of subcutaneous fat was greater for Angus heifers. Chemical constituents of empty body weight and empty body gain there did not suffer effects of genetic group. The crossing between Nellore and Angus, as well as the level of concentrate improve carcass characteristics and pattern of deposition of body tissues.

Background: Meat quality involves many traits, such as marbling, tenderness, juiciness, and backfat thickness, all of which require attention from livestock producers. Backfat thickness improvement by means of traditional selection techniques in Canchim beef cattle has been challenging due to its low heritability, and it is measured late in an animal's life. Therefore, the implementation of new methodologies for identification of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) linked to backfat thickness are an important strategy for genetic improvement of carcass and meat quality.Results: The set of SNPs identified by the random forest approach explained as much as 50% of the deregressed estimated breeding value (dEBV) variance associated with backfat thickness, and a small set of 5 SNPs were able to explain 34% of the dEBV for backfat thickness. Several quantitative trait loci (QTL) for fat-related traits were found in the surrounding areas of the SNPs, as well as many genes with roles in lipid metabolism.Conclusions: These results provided a better understanding of the backfat deposition and regulation pathways, and can be considered a starting point for future implementation of a genomic selection program for backfat thickness in Canchim beef cattle. © 2013 Mokry et al.; licensee BioMed Central Ltd.
