ABSTRACT
In the world, many research has been made to increase the
quality and quantity of food production, and also to seek increase of accessibility of consumption
for the population, especially in low
economic income communities, where the consumption of protein may be
very important for public health and sustainable development. The main objective
of this study was to
generate knowledge to increase food safety in the production of meat through
the assessment of cattle that are prospect to be stallions of the Simmental and
Simbrah breeds. This took place in Linares, Nuevo Leon, Mexico. The period of
time for the test to get accurate data regarding food consumption in this study
was 70 d. The Simmental breed surpasses the Simbrah breed, with respect to increase
in daily weight and increase in final weight (P ≤ 0.05). If Northeast México
is looking to enhance food safety through a higher increase in final weight,
then it should consider the Simmental breed as the most appropriate.
