This work was carried out to study the effects of corn grain replacement with glycerin (812 g of glycerol per kg/DM) and vegetable oils (cashew and castor) on the carcass characteristics and meat quality of Purunã bulls finished in a feedlot. A total of 32 Purunã bulls (¼ Aberdeen Angus + ¼ Caracu + ¼ Charolaise + ¼ Canchim) with a mean age of 12 ± 2.0 months and a mean body weight 206.1 ± 20.0 kg were distribu...

In order to evaluate how beef buyers in the State of Paraná, Brazil south value meat quality indicators, and attributes of credibility, 519 interviews were conducted in three cities with different sizes (Big – Curitiba, Medium – Campo Mourão and Small – Palotina). The interviews were applied after the meat was placed in the shopping cart and were composed of five questions, including question of spontaneous res...
This study was carried out to evaluate the performance and carcass characteristics of bulls from three genetic groups: Zebu (ZEB), ½ Limmousin vs. ½ Zebu (LIZ) and ½ Angus vs. ½ Zebu (ANZ). Bulls were finished in feedlot and fed two diets: sorghum silage + 1.0% concentrate of LW or sugar cane + 1.2% concentrate LW. The bulls were slaughtered at one of two fat thicknesses: 3.4 or 4.8 mm. The bulls of the LIZ and...
Objetivou-se com este trabalho avaliar o efeito do nível de substituição (0; 12,5; 22,8 e 32,7%) do milho pelo resíduo de fecularia de mandioca sobre o desempenho e características de carcaça de bovinos em confinamento. Trinta e dois machos inteiros mestiços (½ Aberdeen Angus vs. ½ Nelore) com 18 meses de idade e 380 + 24 kg de peso vivo foram utilizados em delineamento experimental inteiramente casualizado, co...
This work was conducted in order to study the chemical composition, fatty acid profile, as well as the levels of n-3 and n-6 fatty acids and conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) present in the Longissimus muscle of Caracu and Caracu vs. Charolais genetic groups of cattle. This study was carried out at the Experimental Farm of the Agronomic Institute of Paraná, in southern Brazil. Twenty animals (10 Caracu – CAR and 1...
This work was carried-out to study the chemical composition and fatty acids profile among chuck, rump, striploin, topside and knuckle from crossbred (½ Nellore x ½ Charolais) heifers finished in feedlot. The knuckle, striploin and topside showed higher (P < 0.05) moisture (75.19, 73.87 e 74.36%) and ash contents (1.09; 1.08 and 1.13%) than the chuck (71.18 e 0.93%) and rump (71.58 e 1.07%), respectively. On the...
