PREDICTION OF LEAN YIELD OF BEEF CARCASSES

Canadian Journal of Animal Science, 1970
Detailed carcass cut-out data were obtained over two years on 149 Shorthorn bulls slaughtered at approximately 14 months of age. Carcass yield was measured on a closely trimmed basis, bone-in and boneless, and finally on a boneless-defatted basis. Simple carcass measurements were used singly and in multiple regression to predict lean meat content ...

CARCASS CONFORMATION AS A CRITERION OF YIELD AND VALUE OF BEEF CARCASSES

Canadian Journal of Animal Science, 1974
Dissection results from 50 beef type and 50 dairy type carcasses ranging from 280 to 355 kg in carcass weight, with type defined by a panel of retail buyers, identified a small but statistically significant (P < 0.01) superiority of beef carcasses in percent yield of boneless trimmed lean cuts.

The representation of yield of dressed carcass

Animal Science, 1966
1. Because dressing percentage increases as body weight increases, an adjustment for body weight is necessary when the dressing percentages of animals of different body weights are being compared. Instead of comparing animals on this basis, it is suggested that the power function y = axb, relating carcass weight and body weight, when computed in the ...

The relationship between different pork carcass lean yield definitions and the market carcass value

Meat Science, 2007
Cutout and dissection data from 265 carcasses were used to study the impact of the lean yield definition on their ability to discriminate lean carcasses from fat carcasses. The same data were used to evaluate the relationship between the various definitions of lean yield, such as the lean yield predicted by the Destron optical probe (LYDESTRON), the ...

Yield measurement is valuable for pricing beef carcasses

Animal Production Science, 2020
Context The most common way of pricing beef carcasses is through a price grid. Most processors make greater profit from higher-quality carcasses, which are those with higher meat yield and eating quality. Aims The aim of this study was

Effect of myostatin F94L on carcass yield in cattle

Animal Genetics, 2007
SummaryIn this study, a highly significant quantitative trait locus (QTL) for meat percentage, eye muscle area (EMA) and silverside percentage was found on cattle chromosome 2 at 0–15 cM, a region containing the positional candidate gene growth differentiation factor 8 (GDF8), which has the common alias myostatin (MSTN).

Carcass beef yield as a basis for carcass evaluation and marketing

Australian Journal of Agricultural Research, 1977
The carcass yield of prescribed proportions of muscle and dissectible fat, described as 'carcass beef ', was studied in 49 steers of four breeds. Carcass beef consisting of 80% muscle, 20% fat and also of 75% muscle, 25% fat was predicted from fat thickness (FT), liveweight, carcass weight and dressing percentage ...

PREDICTION OF YIELD AND VALUE OF HOG CARCASSES

Canadian Journal of Animal Science, 1964
Relationships between a number of split and internal carcass measurements and per cent yield of the carcass and its component cuts when trimmed in accordance with commercial standards were examined using a sample of 482 hog carcasses. Carcass length and weight were found to have low predictive value, accounting respectively for approximately 9 and 4 ...

Meat yield evaluation in pig carcasses

Živočišná výroba, 1997
Meat yield of the pigs of different genotypes has been researched. Hundred and twenty pigs of both sexes, divided into 4 groups were included in the research as follows: 1st group=/LWxGL/xGL ; 2nd group=/LWxSL/xGL ; 3rd =/SLxLW/xLW and 4th group= pigs of unknown genotype.

Predicting pork loin chop yield using carcass and loin characteristics

Journal of Animal Science, 2016
The objective was to determine the predictive ability of carcass length for the number of equal-thickness chops obtained from a boneless pork loin. Longer pork carcasses are assumed to yield longer loins and, therefore, an increased number of chops. Loins were collected from pigs (1,238 total) raised under commercial conditions and marketed when the ...
