Postmortem Muscle Responses. Postmortem LM pH
decline is presented in Figure 7. In both the foresaddle
(panel A) and hindsaddle (panel B), LM pH values
were higher ( P < .01) for RIS and RISEB lambs than
for C lambs at every sampling time. Furthermore,
there was no difference ( P > .05) in LM pH from
either the blocked hindsaddle or unblocked foresaddle
of RISEB lambs. In addition, not only was the
ultimate (24-h) LM pH higher ( P < . O l ) in stressed
