Cortisol Hormone Concentration and Meat Quality of Beef Cattle Stunned by Captive Bolt Stun Gun before Slaughtering

This study was aimed to describe cortisol hormone concentration and meat quality which were produced in beef cattle stunned with captive bolt stun gun before slaughtering. Blood and meat samples were taken from Brahman cross steers (n= 11) in two abattoirs located in West Java and Banten. Blood samples were collected immediately after slaughtering. Cortisol hormone concentration in the serum was measured by using radioimmunoassay (RIA). The descriptive, correlation, and regression analyses were used to interprete data. Meat quality assessment was based on pH, cooking loss, and complete drainage of blood. The average of cortisol hormone concentration was 26.59 ng/mL. Meat pH at 1 h postmortem and 24 h postmortem were 6.65 and 6.21, respectively. Meat cooking loss was 26.77%. Blood drainage in meat samples of each cattle showed complete drainage. There was a significant correlation (P<0.05) between cortisol concentrations and pH at 1 hour postmortem as well as cortisol concentration and cooking loss. There was no significant correlation between pH at 24 h postmortem and cooking loss. Cattle was stunned with a captive bolt stun gun before slaughtering produced meat with complete blood drainage but had high cortisol hormone concentration and pH ultimate. Key words: cortisol, quality of meat, stunning, captive bolt stun gu

The Association Between Corporate Social Responsibility and Corporate Fiancial Performance

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is an emerging issue in the last two decades. Some people argue that the implementation of CSR increase corporate financial performance because CSR can bring sustainability for the firm. However, others argue companies should have better financial performance to do CSR. Previous studies show mixed results. This research aims to investigate the relationship between corporate financial performance and CSR. This study also examines the causality relationship that established between CSR and corporate financial performance. This study investigates 800 firms that listed on Indonesian Stock Exchange (IDX) in 2010 - 2012. Corporate financial performance is measured by two proxies, i.e. accounting based approach (ROA, ROE, and ROS) and stock-market based approach (stock return). While, CSR practices is measured by Corporate Social Disclosure Index (CSRDI) that developed base on Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) standard. The relationship between both of them was investigated by using multivariate linear regression. The causality relationships also consider the time difference between them, i.e. contemporaneous, lagging one period, and lagging two periods. Firm size and risk level are included in the regression as control variables. This study finds that (1) CSR provides positive impact on the financial performancein the contemporaneous and next 1 year time period; (2) financial performance that measured by ROA will influence positively CSR only for the next two years; (3) there is a significant positive relationship between firm size and CSR.These results suggest that CSR activities of Indonesia companies tend to be charity, so it only provides positive impact to the firm financial performance in no more than one year. In addition, it needs at least two years for profitable companies to realize their capability in CSR activities. Indonesian investors have not considered CSR as a key performance measure. Further, company size is a good predictor to the CSR practice
