  • Effects of Castration on Carcass Composition, Meat Quality, and Sensory Properties of Beef Produced in a Tropical Climate
    EFFECTS OF CASTRATION ON CARCASS COMPOSITION, MEAT QUALITY, AND SENSORY PROPERTIES OF BEEF PRODUCED IN A TROPICAL CLIMATE. by JULIO RODRIGUEZ --------------------------- A THESIS Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree MASTER OF SCIENCE Department of Animal Science and Industry College of Agriculture KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY Manhattan, Kansas 2012 Approved by: Major Professor John A. Unruh ABSTRACT Forty-eight Brahman-cross male calves were fed to 26 mo of age and used to determine carcass cutability and meat quality characteristics of four muscles from intact bulls and steers castrated at 3, 7, or 12 mo of age grown under tropical pasture conditions. Longissimus lumborum (LL), Psoas major (PM), Gluteus medius (GM), and Semitendinosus (ST) steaks were aged for 2, 7, 14, or 28 d for Warner Bratzler shear force (WBSF) analysis. Live weight, carcass traits, and total subprimal yields were not affected by male sex condition. For PM, GM, and ST steaks, WBSF values were similar for steaks from intact bulls and steers castrated at all ages. For both PM and GM muscles, steaks aged for 28 d had the lowest (most tender) WBSF values and steaks aged for 2 d had the highest WBSF values. For the ST, WBSF values were highest for steaks aged 2 d. A treatment × aging interaction was detected for LL WBSF values. At 14 d of aging, LL steaks from steers castrated at 3 mo tended to have lower WBSF values than those from intact bulls. At 28 d of aging, steaks from steers had lower WBSF values than steaks from intact bulls and steaks from steers castrated at 3 mo tended to have lower WBSF values than steaks from steers castrated at 12 mo.

Cattle have been important to agriculture in Japan for centuries as draft animals, but only since the Meiji Restoration (1868 – 1912) has consumption of beef been sanctioned. The production of cattle specifically for consumption now represents a thriving, modern industry in Japan. As in the U.S., beef producers in Japan represent only a small proportion of the populace, and cattle farms are considered a novelty (Figure 1).
