More Tenderness
t
In Lower Grades
Of Beef Sought
RENO Nevada A Tr n'v r
sity of Chicago biochemist said
the meat industry is seeking
new ways to improve the tend
erness of lower grades -of beef
as a means of reducing produc
tion costs.
Dr. B. S. Schweigert, assist
ant director of research and
education of the American Meat
Institution Foundation at Chica
go, spoke on the University of
Nevada campus. He addressed
he Western Division of the Am
'Vican Society of Animal Pro
luction and the American Dairy
Science Association on “New 1
Frontiers in Meat Research.”
He said the Foundation,
vhose research by 55 scientists
is supported by domestic and
overseas meat packing com
panies, has an active beef tend
enzation program under way. It
includes studies on tenderizer
nreparations and seeks to avoid
the need for costly, wasty pro
cedure of heavy feeding of con
centrates to beef cattle
Studies also are being made,
he added, which are aimed at
finding better ways to preserve
meats, either thiough n radia
tion or the use of antibiotics.
He said results with irradiation
thus far have been more favor
able with pork than with beef.
