dc.description.abstract |
For a long time cattle-breeders and animal scientists have had a strong desire to find methods for in vivo estimation of body and/or carcass composition in animals after slaughter without the need for complete dissection. Hungarian animal scientists have been experimenting with X-ray computer tomography (CT) technology in the last 12 years. Due to the size of adult cattle, this technique cannot be used for the time being. One obvious possibility is to estimate the tissue composition (tc) of whole carcasses by using CT on representative samples taken from the carcasses. Rib samples are identified as the most likely candidates for predicting whole carcass composition. The aim of this trial was to determine the tc in rib samples by CT and correlate it with the composition of intact carcasses. |
