Popis: The BIF-Beef (Beef Integrated and Functional Biology) database contains animal, carcass, muscle and meat data (331,745 entries) collected from 43 experiments over the last 20 years and a great number of variables (621) characterising muscles (fat and collagen contents, cross-section and types of fibres, metabolic activity), making it a relevant tool to relate muscle characteristics to beef quality. Wide variation was observed in all described traits according to muscle type, sex and breed. The BIF-Beef database was mainly composed of data from young bulls of late-maturing beef breeds, which is why live weight and carcass weights of the animals were greater, and beef was leaner and lighter than results from other existing databases. Average cross-sectional area of fibres was greater in Semitendinosus than in Longissimus thoracis muscle and, for Longissimus, greater in steers than in young bulls. Intramuscular fat content was in descending order: Charolais > Limousin > Blond d’Aquitaine and females > steers > young bulls. Semitendinosus muscle was less oxidative and contained more collagen than Longissimus muscle. Collagen content in Longissimus was higher in Charolais than in Blond d’Aquitaine and Limousin young bulls. Within the Charolais breed, collagen content in Longissimus was higher in young bulls and steers than in females. Longissimus samples from young bulls were less tender than from females. Based on the above results, this database is a prerequisite for meta-analysis of relationships between muscle characteristics and beef quality in the European context.
