ABSTRACT

Holstein steers (six per treatment) were fed rations having three contents of energy. High content of dietary energy produced faster gains, more efficient conversion of dry matter to gain, greater deposition of fat, higher carcass quality grade, and more tender steaks than did low dietary energy. Steaks cooked to lower internal temperatures (60 C) were more tender and had less loss of juice than steaks cooked to higher temperatures (64 to 72 C).
