Prediction of Marbling Scores From Percentage Intramuscular Fat
In this study two separate sets of data were used to develop prediction equations for Marbling Scores (MS) from actual percentage intramuscular fat. All regression parameters were significantly (P<.01) different from zero. Model-I explained only 49% of the variation in MS as compared with 83% for modelII. When these equations were validated on an independent data set, the correlations between t...
متن کاملGenetic parameters for intramuscular fat percentage, marbling score, scrotal circumference, and heifer pregnancy in Red Angus cattle.
Selection criteria for yearling bulls commonly include indicators of fertility and carcass merit, such as scrotal circumference (SC) and intramuscular fat percentage (IMF). Genetic correlation estimates between ultrasound traits such as IMF and carcass marbling score (MS) with fertility traits SC and heifer pregnancy (HP) have not been reported. Therefore, the objective of this study was to est...
متن کاملComputer image analysis of intramuscular adipocytes and marbling in the longissimus muscle of cattle.
The deposition of fat in muscle, recognized by the consumer as marbling, is an important meat quality trait. The objective of the study was to provide additional insights into the quantitative extent of marbling by means of computer image analysis. Fifty-one F(2) generation German Holstein and Charolais crossbreed cattle, 18 mo of age, were used to determine relationships among marbling traits,...
متن کاملGenetic parameters for sensory traits in longissimus muscle and their associations with tenderness, marbling score, and intramuscular fat in Angus cattle.
The objective of this study was to estimate heritabilities for sensory traits and genetic correlations among sensory traits and with marbling score (MS), Warner-Bratzler shear force (WBSF), and intramuscular fat content (IMFC). Samples of LM from 2,285 Angus cattle were obtained and fabricated into steaks for laboratory analysis and 1,720 steaks were analyzed by a trained sensory panel. Restric...
متن کاملStrategies for Managing Marbling in Beef Cattle
The objective of this paper is to review strategies that are known to enhance the level of marbling in beef. Research has demonstrated that marbling contributes significantly to beef’s eating quality—primarily to flavor and juiciness—but also to tenderness. Furthermore, a recent study showed that consumers are willing to pay 50% more for well-marbled USDA Prime grade steaks than for lesser-marb...
