Author(s) : AUGUSTINI C.

Type of excerpt: Book chapter

Summary

The electrical stimulation of cattle is used mainly to avoid cold shortening. Moreover, there is discussed an improvement in tenderness, the brightening of the meat colour and the influencing of the water holding capacity. By an investigation on two genotypes of bovine cattle, significantly different in conformation, the differences between the genotypes and the effect of the duration of electrical stimulation on meat quality traits have been examined.
