Collection ID:CO003366
Collection Summary:All cattle were processed in USDA-inspected slaughter facilities and the researchers worked with the producers to collect meat samples (Pectoralis profundus) from 18 individual animals (n=18) per group for both the grass-fed and grain-fed group. Upon arrival at the lab, all meat samples were stored in a -40°C freezer and processed for analysis within 3 weeks of arrival. The meat samples were ground individually in a commercial meat grinder, and patties (112g) were cooked in a commercial oven (175 °C) until the internal temperature of the patties registered at 71 °C as determined by a meat thermometer. Thereafter ~2 grams from the center of each patty were obtained (n = 18 pasture-finished beef; n = 18 for grain-finished beef), immediately frozen in liquid nitrogen, and stored at -80 degrees °C until further analysis.
