Just contact us and we will be happy to answer them. bison facts handling Bison Meat Bison meat, though similar to beef, needs to be handled and cooked a little bit differently. you will find you can interchange bison meat with all your favorite beef recipes, if you follow a few basic tips. Fat acts as an insulator in meat, and because there is less fat in bison meat, the cooking time is reduced. When cooking bison, be aware of the time and avoid overcooking. Bison Steaks - Cook quickly under high heat. To retain more juices and reduce the chance of overcooking, turn only once. Having the steaks chilled or slightly frozen when grilling will also help. Steaks are enhanced with the use of sauces, marinate, and spices. The low fat content ensures greater penetration of the above into the meat so each bite is flavorful. Bison Roasts - Cook under low, moist heat at 275-325° F. Use a meat thermometer and remove from oven at 140 - 150 °F. for rare-medium. Roasts continue to cook after removal from oven; therefore, remove 5 degrees before it reaches desired doneness. The meat absorbs sauces and marinates very well for a www.northforkbison.com 4 variety in tastes. Bison Ground - Cook as with other ground red meats but expect less shrinkage and quicker frying. Extremely good with fillers or binders such as egg, bread crumbs etc. Bison Nutritional information Calorie content of Bison Fat content of Bison compared Cholesterol content of Bison compared Cooking with Bison Match the correct method of cooking to inherent tenderness, and you will have tender bison every time.

Mendiratta 1, K.Porteen 2 and K.N. Bhilegaonkar 2 1Division of Livestock Products Technology, 2Division of Veterinary Public Health, IVRI, Izat nagar, Bareilly, UP, India A study was carried out to determine the influence of different concentration and contact time combinations of lactic acid solutions on microbial, sensory and physico-chemical characteristics of buffalo offals viz., head meat, heart, liver and rumen. The following concentration and contact time combinations were used: 1% lactic acid for 20 sec, 1.5% lactic acid for 15 sec and 2% lactic acid for 10 sec. A total of 80 buffalo offal samples (20 numbers of each kind) were collected from a buffalo offal market and subjected to immersion treatments. Water washed offal pieces were used as controls. Sensory evaluations were conducted using a sensory panel comprising postgraduate students and scientists of Livestock Products Technology division, Indian Veterinary Research Institute (India). The data obtained were subjected to statistical analysis using the analysis of variance (ANOVA). Mean log 10 reductions (CFU/g) achieved, based on the different treatments and kinds of buffalo offal were between 0.22 and 1.05 for total viable counts; 0.22 and 1.19 for coliforms counts and 0.25 and 0.98 for staphylococcal counts. Immersion in 2% lactic acid solution for 10 sec gave the best overall reduction effect. Sensory evaluations recorded minimal effects of treatments on buffalo offals.

  • Slaughter and Killing of Minority Farmed Species
    Charity Registered in England & Wales No 1159690 Charitable Incorporated Organisation Technical Note No 25 Slaughter and Killing of Minority Farmed Species Summary The last twenty years or so have seen many big changes in British agriculture. The livestock sector in particular has had to change radically to adapt to new legislation, stricter production standards set by the customer and changes to the subsidy system. Some livestock farmers have diversified into the rearing of species not indigenous to the UK: these include the Asian water buffalo, North American bison, ostrich, camelids and species that lived here in ancient times, such as wild boar. As with domestic livestock, these animals are bred and reared for various reasons, the main ones being milk, meat and wool or fibre production. When slaughtering or killing these animals, it is highly likely that the slaughterman and/or veterinary surgeon will be presented with a number of challenges not normally experienced with domesticated livestock. It is essential that careful planning and preparation takes place before any attempt is made to slaughter or kill these animals. Humane Slaughter Association The Old School.

For the purposes of this leaflet, they are deer, ostrich, wild boar, water buffalo, bison and camelids (alpaca and llama). These all present meat hygiene and slaughter staff with new challenges due to physical and behavioural differences compared to traditional domestic livestock (cattle, sheep, goats, pigs and horses).

  • Take a Look at the Bison Industry It’S Called the Bison Advantage Bison Today Represents One of the True Bright Spots in Other- Wise Uncertain Agricultural Economy
    Take a Look at the Bison Industry It’s Called the Bison Advantage Bison today represents one of the true bright spots in other- wise uncertain agricultural economy. Prices paid to produc- ers for market-ready animals have been at strong, profitable prices for the past eight years. As more people discover the great taste and nutritional benefits of bison meat. Bison today can be found on the menu of white ta- blecloth restaurants, in adult casual establishments, in an increasing number of retail outlets, and in farmers’ markets. With strong market prices expected to con- tinue, bison ranching represents on of the real growth opportunities for those producers entering agriculture, and for those considering a transition from conventional commodity production. Getting started in farming and ranching is never cheap, but bison represents one of the lower cost start-up enterprises in agriculture. Proper fencing and facilities are required, but you won’t need expensive machinery and handling equipment. Forget about barns…bison love the outdoors in all types of weather. In fact, bison do just fine in conditions ranging from raging blizzards to blistering heat. And, you won’t suffer sleepless nights during calving season because buffalo calve naturally without human assistance. In short, bison are a perfect match for producers who still rely on off-farm income to support their efforts to get established; and for those producers who would prefer to focus on building their business rather than pulling calves or hauling feed. One major factor inhibits continued growth in the consumer marketplace: SUPPLY. New Bison Producers Needed! Market prices for mature bison have remained at historic highs for the past eight years as processors compete to keep foodservice and retail markets supplied.

Wild yak are first observed at Pleistocene levels of the fossil record. We believed that they, together with the closely related species of Bos taurus, B. indicus and Bison bison, resulted from a rapid radiation of the genus towards the end of the Miocene. Today domestic yak live a fragile existence in a harsh environment. Their fitness for this environment is vital to their survival and to the millions of pastoralists who depend upon them.

  • (Water) Buffalo in the US Meat Marketplace
    A Sneak Attack: (Water) Buffalo in the U.S. Meat Marketplace You Don’t Think So?.... Compiled by: National Bison Association 8690 Wolff Court Westminster, CO 80031 303.292.2833 [email protected] July 2019 Water Buffalo in the U.S. Market Page 1 of 20 (Page Intentionally Left Blank) Water Buffalo in the U.S. Market Page 2 of 20 Introduction The growing popularity of sustainably raised, deliciously healthy bison meat has brought profitability and economic stability to bison ranchers and marketers across the United States. In fact, the bison business has enjoyed nearly a decade of strong, profitable market prices. That stability is now under siege from a growing threat of water buffalo meat and pet food ingredients being deceptively marketed in a manner that misleads consumers into believing that they are purchasing bison. As a non-amenable species, bison is under the purview of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. (FDA). The National Bison Association in September 2018 filed a formal complaint with the FDA, citing the relevant sections of CFR 21 §101.18, and 21 CFR §102.5 which are intended to halt the marketing of mislabeled food. (See Page 7) In February, the FDA responded, writing that, while the agency “has not established a specific regulation regarding the marketing of either water buffalo or bison…we do agree that water buffalo should be labeled as water buffalo and that bison should be labels (sic) as ‘bison’ or ‘Buffalo (bison)’.” (See Page 10) The National Bison Association, with full support of the InterTribal Buffalo Council, is working with our allies in the U.S.
