“…Wheeler and Koohmaraie (1999) report that sarcomere length from nonshortened LD was 1.69 μm, compared with those that were cold shortened, at 1.36 μm. Other studies focusing on the feeding of distillers grains have also reported no differences in sarcomere length (Chao et al, 2017;Ribeiro, 2017).…”

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of feeding high-protein corn distillers grains on fresh beef quality. Steers (n = 60) were fed one of five diets for 190 d (six pens with 10 cattle/pen/diet): a corn control (Control), 40% high-protein dry distillers grains plus solubles (HP-DDGS), 40% dry distillers grains plus solubles (DDGS), 40% wet distillers grains plus solubles (WDGS), or 40% bran plus solubles (Bran). Eighteen Choice carcasses (three cattle per pen) were randomly selected within each treatment; however, two carcasses were lost during carcass selection. Strip loins (Longissimus lumborum, IMPS # 180) were collected, divided into three equal portions, and aged for 2, 9, or 23 d. Steaks were fabricated following each aging period and placed under retail display (RD) conditions for 0, 4, or 7 d. Pen was the experimental unit. Hot carcass weight at harvest was 391 kg (SD 31.6 kg). Dietary treatment had no effect on tenderness (Warner-Bratzler shear force) within each aging period (P > 0.05). After 7 d of RD, following all aging periods, steaks from cattle fed HP-DDGS had the greatest visual discoloration except for DDGS and Bran after 23 d (P < 0.05). The steaks from cattle fed HP-DDGS had lower (P < 0.05) redness (a*) values than all other treatments following 7 d of RD. Lipid oxidation increased (P < 0.001) during RD at all aging periods, as measured via thiobarbituric acid reactive substance (TBARS). A day of RD-by-dietary treatment effect (P < 0.001) was observed for lipid oxidation. After 7 d of RD, steaks from cattle fed HP-DDGS had higher TBARS than all other treatments except WDGS (P < 0.01). A trend was found for sarcomere length (P = 0.07), with steaks from cattle fed Bran having the longest sarcomere length compared with all other treatments. An aging effect was found for free calcium content (P < 0.001) where steaks aged 9 and 23 d had significantly higher levels of free calcium than those aged 2 d. There was a tendency (P = 0.07) that steaks from cattle fed WDGS contained more free calcium than steaks from cattle fed DDGS or Bran. Although there were no statistical differences, there was a trend (P = 0.07) that steaks from cattle fed HP-DDGS had higher levels of PUFAs and C18:2. These results suggest that feeding high protein distillers grains has no detriment on tenderness, but may alter the lipid profile of the muscle, resulting in decreased color stability, increased lipid oxidation, and decreased shelf life.
