• Abstract

  The beef industry has socioeconomic importance to Brazil. Factors that favor the acceptability of the meat should be explored in order to stimulate consumption of a very important dietary ingredient, with special attention towards decreasing negative experiences. Tenderness is important as a quality criterion for this meat, so much that some consumers are willing to pay more for guarantee…

  The relative activity of calpastatin isoforms determine postmortem aging of beef from animals with great participation of Bos indicus, AP.R
• 59th International Congress of Meat Science and Technology, AR.EXT

• Abstract

  The Brazilian beef shows inconsistency in tenderness. Alternatives to the industry could ease this problem, but would affect the costs of the final product. Historically, a considerable part of the annual slaughter of cattle in Brazil is composed of females. The majority of females slaughtered are cows for disposal, approximately 6 years and with a large inconsistency in tenderness. The…

  Contribution of intramuscular connective tissue components in determining the meat texture of Bos indicus cows, AP.R

• Abstract

  To improve performance of animals after birth, consideration should be given to maternal nutrition throughout pregnancy, and this strategy of improvement involves aspects related to what is called "fetal programming". Maternal malnutrition during the gestational period can lead to problems in myogenesis and consequently a low number of muscle fibers, thus reducing the performance of lambs…

• Abstract

  To improve performance of animals after birth, consideration should be given to maternal nutrition throughout pregnancy, and this strategy of improvement involves aspects related to what is called "fetal programming". A bad maternal nutrition during the gestational period can lead to problems in myogenesis and adipogenesis. The amount and distribution of intramuscular fat (IMF) plays an i…
