Growth performance, feed efficiency and carcass and meat quality of tropically adapted breed types from different farming systems in South Africa
TL;DR: Cattle from resource-poor farmer herds have the ability to meet the specifications of South Africa’s commercial beef markets, indicating a genuine opportunity for import substitution, whereby the more than 5 million cattle in resource- poor farmer herds could be used to overcome the significant shortfall in South Africa's domestic beef market demand.

The effects of a beta-agonist treatment, Vitamin D3 supplementation and electrical stimulation on meat quality of feedlot steers
TL;DR: ES is more effective to alleviate beta-agonist induced toughness than high vitamin D3 supplements and improves Warner-Bratzler shear force under NES conditions.

The effect of vitamin D3 supplementation on texture and oxidative stability of beef loins from steers treated with zilpaterol hydrochloride
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors showed that supplementing the zilpaterol treated steers with a high dosage of vitamin D3 (6D7M7N) resulted in improved colour stability, higher stability towards protein oxidation and lower stability towards lipid oxidation.

TL;DR: The sample size was too small to accurately estimate genotypic effects of previously published markers in the CAST and CAPN1 genes, but the allele frequencies suggest that only modest progress would be possible in these South African crossbreds using these markers.
