Retail color and aerobic bacterial count of strip steaks from beef cattle fed endophyte-infected tall fescue seeds

An abstract by Holtcamp et al on determining the effects of endophyte-infected tall fescue seeds on lean color and microbial growth of beef strip steaks during simulated retail display is presented. Retail display also increased aerobic bacteria by 0.5 log CFU/g (P = 0.020) for both treatment and co...

Description
Summary:An abstract by Holtcamp et al on determining the effects of endophyte-infected tall fescue seeds on lean color and microbial growth of beef strip steaks during simulated retail display is presented. Retail display also increased aerobic bacteria by 0.5 log CFU/g (P = 0.020) for both treatment and control steaks. Feeding endophyte-infected tall fescue seeds followed by a long period of withdrawal had minimal effect on beef color and total bacterial count.
