- Electron beam irradiation at zero time was not effective on viability of Sarcocystis; but at 24 h, irradiation doses 3 and 4 kGy caused a significant reduction in Sarcocystis viability.
- No significant differences were observed between irradiation doses 3 and 4 kGy.
- Electron beam irradiation at dose of 3 kGy was effective as the optimal dose for the elimination of Sarcocystis spp. in beef.
