The digestive and defensive basis of carcass utilization by the burying beetle and its microbiota
Nature Communications, 2017 Insects that use ephemeral resources must rapidly digest nutrients and simultaneously protect them from competitors. Here we use burying beetles (Nicrophorus vespilloides), which feed their offspring on vertebrate carrion, to investigate the digestive ...

Effect of Carcass Traits on Carcass Prices of Holstein Steers in Korea [PDF]
Asian-Australasian Journal of Animal Sciences, 1970 The present study investigated the contribution of carcass traits on carcass prices of Holstein steers in Korea. Phenotypic data consisted of 76,814 slaughtered Holsteins (1 to 6 yrs) from all over Korea. The means for live body weight at slaughter (BWT), chilled carcass weight (CWT), dressing percentage (DP), quantity grade index (QGI), eye muscle ...

Relationships Between Live Body and Carcass Measurements and Carcass Components in Omani Sheep
Journal of Agricultural and Marine Sciences, 1998 Thirty two Omani sheep including eight intact males. 16 castrated males and eight intact females were fed ad libitum a concentrate diet (l6% CP) plus chopped Rhodesgrass hay (8% CP) from weaning until slaughter at an average weight of 26 kg.

Whale carcass scavenging by sharks
Global Ecology and Conservation, 2019 Sharks are well known to scavenge whale carcasses, but observations are rare. Here we (1) describe new observations of whale carcass scavenging behaviour by white (Carcharodon carcharias) and tiger (Galeocerdo cuvier) sharks, and (2) review the ...
