Effects of rumen-protected lysine supplement on growth and carcass traits in a traditional finishing scheme with crossbred beef steers
… protected amino acids on feedlot performance and carcass characteristics are inconsistent in the literature. Therefore, the purpose of this experiment was to study the effects of rumen-protected lysine supplementation on feedlot performance and carcass characteristics on light weight steers. This …

Prediction of primal and subprimal beef yields with video image analysis
An ability to segregate carcasses based on both primal and subprimal yields would further facilitate value-based marketing in the beef industry. This study was conducted to evaluate Video Image Analysis (VIA) output to predict fabricated primal and subprimal yields. Carcasses were selected based on …
