Growth of total fat and lean and of primal cuts is affected by the sex type
Animal, 2017 Knowledge of tissue and cuts growth depending on the sex could be used to improve performance and efficiency. Computed tomography (CT) is a non-invasive technology that enables the study of the body composition of live animals during growth. The aims of the present study were (1) to evaluate variation in the body composition of four sex types (SEX) of ...

Linear-Programming-Based Lifting and Its Application to Primal Cutting-Plane Algorithms [PDF]
INFORMS Journal on Computing, 2009 We propose an approximate lifting procedure for general integer programs. This lifting procedure uses information from multiple constraints of the problem formulation and can be used to strengthen formulations and cuts for mixed-integer programs. In particular, we demonstrate how it can be applied to improve Gomory's fractional cut, which is central ...

Meat quality and cut yield of pigs slaughtered over 100kg live weight
Arquivo Brasileiro de Medicina Veterinária e Zootecnia, 2015 Meat quality and cut yield of pigs slaughtered between 100 and 150kg live weight were evaluated. Pigs (417 Agroceres PIC barrows and gilts) were fed a daily allowance of 2.8kg per head from 80kg until 100.71±0.85, 118.58±0.99, 134.07±1.18 or 143.90±1 ...

Potential of Endangered Local Donkey Breeds in Meat and Milk Production
Animals, 2023 The problem of the erosion of animal genetic resources is evident in certain local donkey breeds, and their long-term sustainability can be achieved by economically repositioning them.

3D model based adaptive cutting system for the meat factory cell: Overcoming natural variability
Smart Agricultural TechnologyThis article presents a comprehensive framework for executing primal cuts on pigs within a Meat Factory Cell (MFC) context, with potential applications for small and medium-sized producers. The framework begins by creating a 3D model from CT-scans, which
