Effect of breed and finishing system on meat quality from beef cattle

An abstract of a study by Torrecilhas et al evaluating the meat quality of 3 cattle breeds finished in 2 feeding systems is presented. On 14 d aging time, the one-half Angus × one-half Nellore and one-half Senepol × one-half Nellore groups were similar, but both were greater than the Nellore group....

Summary:An abstract of a study by Torrecilhas et al evaluating the meat quality of 3 cattle breeds finished in 2 feeding systems is presented. On 14 d aging time, the one-half Angus × one-half Nellore and one-half Senepol × one-half Nellore groups were similar, but both were greater than the Nellore group. In this study, the meat quality parameters were more affected by feeding systems than by breed.
