Production Inefficiency in Fed Cattle Marketing and the Value of Sorting Pens into Alternative Marketing Groups Using Ultrasound Technology [PDF]

The cattle industry batch markets animals in pens. Because of this, animals within any one pen can be both underfed and overfed. Thus, there is a production inefficiency associated with batch marketing.

Factors affecting estimation of marbling in cattle and the relationship between marbling scores and intramuscular fat

, 2002
The aim of this study was to investigate the relationships between various estimates of marbling in Jersey and Limousin crossbred steers with intramuscular fat percentage (IMF%) as determined by solvent extraction.

Distribution of intramuscular fat content and marbling within the longissimus muscle of pigs

, 2004
A better knowledge of intramuscular fat (IMF) content distribution would allow the identification of a predictive site on the longissimus muscle to assess the total IMF content.

Using Lean Color and Marbling Score to Sort Beef Carcasses into Tenderness Groups [PDF]

, 2002
Beef carcasses (n=290) were used to determine the effectiveness of color (L* - lightness; a* - redness; b* - yellowness) measured at least 90 minutes after ribbing and marbling called by USDA graders to sort beef carcasses into one of three tenderness ...

How might marbling begin?

, 2004
Marbling is an important meat quality trait, in that it contributes directly to the value of beef on international markets. The development of marbling is not well understood, though there have been some significant recent discoveries regarding ...

Development of an automatic marbling scoring system using digital image processing

, 2009
The amount and distribution of fat in cattle meat (often termed as 'marbling') is a key element to assess the eating quality of beef and is usually represented as a 'marbling score'.

The Use of Ultrasound Technology for the Prediction of Marbling or Days on Feed and the Effect of Implants on Marbling in Incoming Feedlot Steers

, 1995
A 2-year study using three hundred five crossbred yearling steers was conducted to determine if ultrasound technology could be used on incoming feedlot steers to predict final marbling score at slaughter or days on feed to reach 1 cm backfat.

Impact of the leptin receptor gene on pig performance and quality traits

Scientific Reports
The recessive T allele of the missense polymorphism rs709596309 C > T of the leptin receptor gene is associated with intramuscular fat. However, its overall impact on pork production is still partial.

Evaluation of Glycated Albumin as a Metabolic Marker for Marbling in Commercial Feeder Cattle [PDF]

, 2015
This study was conducted to determine if glycated albumin is associated with marbling in beef cattle. Crossbred steers (n=113) were assigned randomly to different treatments to determine the effects of feeding strategies (with anabolic growth implants ...

Maximum Score Type Estimators [PDF]

This paper presents maximum score type estimators for linear, binomial, tobit and truncated regression models. These estimators estimate the normalized vector of slopes and do not provide the estimator of intercept, although it may appear in the model ...
