Live changes in muscle glycogen concentration of steers due to feeding and fasting as determined through serial biopsies of the Longissimus dorsi muscle
Insufficient glycogen content in bovine muscle at slaughter produces meat with high final pH (> 5.8) which is undesirable. The objective of this study was to determine through biopsies the live changes in muscle glycogen concentration (MGC) of housed steers fed on hay or hay plus energy conce...
