Carcasses from pasture-finished early-maturing (EM), rather than late-maturing (LM), breed bulls may be more suited to meet the minimum carcass fatness classification of 2+ (6.0 on a 15-point scale) required for some markets. The comparative colour and eating quality of beef from grass-fed bulls of different maturities are unknown.

Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Sibhekiso Siphambili"

  • - Sibhekiso Siphambili's recent research primarily focuses on the quality attributes of beef derived from suckler bulls, specifically examining the effects of maturation timing and pasture nutrition on meat characteristics.
  • - The study highlights that carcasses from early-maturing bulls finished on pasture potentially align better with market demands for fatness, suggesting a need for further exploration of optimal finishing strategies.
  • - The findings underscore a gap in knowledge regarding the comparative colour and eating quality of beef from grass-fed bulls of varying maturities, indicating a direction for future research in meat science.
