Describing the relationships among meat quality traits in domestic turkey (Meleagris gallopavo) populations [PDF]
The presence of meat quality defects is increasing in the turkey industry. While the main strategy for mitigating these issues is through improved housing, management, and slaughter conditions, it may be possible to incorporate meat quality into a turkey

Carcass and meat quality traits in Brangus steers
Abstract The quality grade system used in the United States to identify carcasses with superior eating satisfaction to consumers is based on the amount of marbling within the ribeye and the maturity of the carcass. However, the most important quality attribute for consumers is tenderness.
