Abstract:
Growth enhancing technologies (GETs) are routinely used in finishing beef cattle production to enhance growth, feed efficiency, and sustainability. However, concerns surround the use of GETs and their impact on marbling score and eating quality. The use of GETs can impact marbling deposition, percentage of cattle grading USDA Choice, tenderness, and consumer acceptability; however, the results are variable depending on the anabolic implant type, beta-adrenergic agonist type, and combinations used during the finishing period. This review will summarize how GETs impact meat quality and offer strategies that may help to minimize their impact on marbling and tenderness.
