Relationships Between Kidney, Pelvic, and Heart (KPH) Fat and Beef Carcass Yield

Meat and Muscle Biology
The contribution of kidney, pelvic, and heart (KPH) fat to predicting carcass yield in the official USDA Yield Grade equation has been questioned in the modern U.S. slaughter cattle population and has not been extensively studied. Many U.S.

Evaluation of a Product Derived from Porcine Plasma Protein and a Yeast Product with Similar Biological Activity in Diets of Growing Broilers

Animals, 2021
The post-hatch period of a broiler is an integral point in their development and for the programming of musculoskeletal and immune cells. Therefore, the efficacy of two bioactive protein products, betaGRO® (BG) and celluTEIN® (CT) to impact post-hatch ...

ChicGrasp: Imitation‐Learning‐Based Customized Dual‐Jaw Gripper Control for Manipulation of Delicate, Irregular Bio‐Products

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Automated poultry processing lines still rely on humans to lift slippery, easily bruised carcasses onto a shackle conveyor. Deformability, anatomical variance, and hygiene rules make conventional suction and scripted motions unreliable. We present ChicGrasp, an end‐to‐end hardware‐software co‐designed imitation learning framework, to offer a ...

Maceration Frequency Impacts Semitendinosus and Biceps femoris Surface Area, Cooking Loss, and Palatability Outcomes

Meat and Muscle Biology
We examined the effect of maceration frequency on surface area, purge loss, and palatability of eye of round and bottom round steaks. Beef eye of round (n = 12) was cut into 8 steaks each and randomly assigned to 0, 1, 2, or 3 macerations and uncooked or
