Agricultural region was found to be significantly associated with the portion condemnation rates but not with whole carcass rates.
These trace fossils provide information on the seasonality of death and site-formation processes including when the bison were killed, the position of the carcasses on the landscape, stages of faunal succession and decomposition within the carcasses, rate and depth of burial, and butchering techniques.
In the cod fed the diets containing 58% protein, carcass growth rate was greater than in those fed the 49% protein diets.
The 40 failed trials were used to examine the carcass consumption rate by maggots as an indicator of interspecific competition along the elevational gradient.
Bueno et al 68 reported a significant increase in the carcass lipogenesis rate and in the percentage of small-area adipocytes at the site of fat removal at 30 days after lipectomy of retroperitoneal and epididymal fat pads in monosodium-glutamate obese animals but not in control animals.
Data were collected from the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs and the Ontario Cattlemen's Association regarding whole carcass condemnation rates for cattle animal classes, abattoir compliance ratings, and the monthly sales-yard price for various cattle classes from 2001-2007.
Changes in portion and whole carcass condemnation rates could be monitored over time and space, and when the condemnation rate reaches a certain threshold it may signal a potential outbreak or quality control problem within an abattoir and/or region.
The objective of this study was to identify various seasonal, secular, and abattoir characteristic factors that may be associated with bovine portion condemnation rates and compare how these may differ from factors associated with bovine whole carcass condemnation rates.
The objective of this study was to identify various seasonal, secular, and abattoir characteristic factors that may be associated with bovine portion condemnation rates and compare how these variables may differ from previously identified factors associated with bovine whole carcass condemnation rates.
An association between larger abattoirs and lower condemnation rates for both lung and kidney condemnations agreed with findings that demonstrated the same effect for whole carcass condemnation rates [ 14].
