The impact of growth promotants and high voltage electrical stimulation (HVES) on meat quality of steers was evaluated. Ninety-six steers were assigned to implant (IMP) or non-implanted (NIMP). At 45 min post-stunning, HVES was applied to alternate carcass sides. The use of HVES resulted in improvements in LL colour. For shear force of the LL, a significant two-way interaction between implant and HVES was observed (P<0.05). HVES reduced shear force, but the effect was more pronounced in NIMP (-2.64 kg) versus IMP (-2.08 kg). The tenderizing effect of HVES on LL shear force is, therefore, reduced in IMP steers at 24 h.
