Whey fed cattle yield tender beef despite weight loss
At Beltsville ARS Maryland scientists fed Holstein steers liquid acid whey with three diets including whey with restricted grain. Steers on whey weighed less and graded lower yet taste tests found tenderness and overall acceptability similar to controls. By restricting grain, more whey can be consumed with no loss in flavor, suggesting a low cost method to use surplus whey for lean meat.
