    Abstract

    Butchers and retailers in the Netherlands have been very critical of the uniformity and eating quality of Dutch beef. In response, various production chain projects have been set up in which stipulations have been made about beef breed, feeding strategy and age at slaughter. These stipulations will improve the uniformity, but the effect these factors will have on eating quality is less certain. To clarify this, the Research Institute for Animal Husbandry (PV) conducted a study jointly with the Institute for Animal Science and Health (IDLelystad). It entailed fattening 48 Charolais and 48 Piedmont cross beef bulls on the beef enterprise on Waiboerhoeve according to different finishing strategies
