Sensory and Instrumental Texture Characteristics of Normal and Electrically Stimulated Pork Frozen by Two Methods
The effect of electrical stimulation on pork carcass quality and the effect of conventional and blast freezing methods on roasts from normal and electrically stimulated pork was studied. Potential correlations of sensory and instrumental pork texture measurements were also investigated.

Bull-steer comparisons for growth and carcass traits
… was to compare bulls and steers for growth and carcass traits. Bulls (220, 310, 449 kg) weighed more than did steers (204, 273, 381 kg) at weaning, 12 and 18 months of age, respectively, (P < .05), and scored higher on condition at weaning and 18 months of age (P< .05). Bulls (501, 281, 0.48 kg) …
