Abstract:In order to investigate the beef quality changes under handling cattle in different platform slope, Twenty simon tal beef cattle were randomly divided into 4 groups, the cow is respectively loading and unloading through (30,40,50 °) slope, then cattle are slaughtered. The pH value, flesh-colored, drip loss percentage, cooking loss percentage and shear force of postmortem beef were measured respectively. Results showed, with the increase of loading platform slope, pH values, L* value and a* value of postmortem beef significantly decreased (P<0.05), while shear force, b* value, drip loss and cooking loss of postmortem beef significantly increased (P<0.05). This study indicated that beef quality was better through handling cattle in 30 degrees platform slope, and it should be reduced platform slope in cattle actual production thereby improve beef quality.
