“…In these researches, FT, REA, HCW (or cold carcass weight-CCW) and KPH% were used to determine the carcass yield; marbling, meat color, fat color, texture, and maturity parameters were used in quality grading. Through these parameters, the weights and percentages of retail cuts were predicted, yield and quality characteristics of the carcasses were compared by type of animal, age and gender, and economic slaughter weight was determined [4,[7][8][9][10][11][12][13] .…”

This study was made to predict the weights and percentages of retail cuts in Holstein bull carcasses. The study material were 47 Holstein bull (mean slaughter age: 20.57±0.606 months) carcasses. Hot carcass weight (HCW, kg), ribeye area (REA, cm 2 ) and fat thickness (FT, cm) were used to predict weights and percentages of retail cuts. Bull carcasses were divided into 12 retail cuts and grouped as total retail cuts (TRC), first degree retail cuts (FRC) and second degree retail cuts (SRC). Regression analysis was made (stepwise method) to predict weights and percentages of TRC, FRC and SRC. Slaughter weight (SW), dressing percentage (DP), HCW, REA and FT were determined as average 544.550±6.776 kg; 55.75±0.169%; 303.600±3.948 kg; 85.538±1.978 cm 2 and 0.310±0.023 cm, respectively. All predicted models (F) were found significantly (P<0.001; P<0.01) in the analysis. As a result, it was found that HCW is most important predictor in predicting the weights and percentages of retail cuts. HCW and REA explained for 94.5% (R

“…All carcass traits except carcass weight were graded between the sixth and seventh rib sections in accordance with the Japan Meat Grading Association (1989) certified grades. In Japan, the quality of beef carcasses (yield score) has been judged based mainly on the carcass weight and three other carcass traits (the longissimus muscle area, rib thickness and subcutaneous fat thickness) at the sixth and seventh rib sections, because these traits are relatively easy to measure and routinely collected in the carcass markets (Hirooka et al, 1996;Maeno et al, 2014).…”

The factors influencing the priority of access to food and the effects of the priority of access to food on their carcass traits were analyzed for Japanese Black (Wagyu) cattle in a semi-intensive fattening production system. The records of 96 clinically healthy steers and heifers were analyzed. The calves at ∼ 3 to 4 months of age were allocated to pens with four animals per pen; all four animals in the same pen were of the same sex and of similar body size. The ranking of the animals' priority of access to food (1 st , 2 nd , 3 rd and 4 th ), which was determined by the farm manager, was used as an indicator of social dominance in the present study. Four models including sire line, maternal grandsire line and the difference in the animals' birth dates as fixed effects were used to analyze factors influencing the priority of access to food. Ranking was represented by ordinal scores (highest = 4, lowest = 1) in Model 1, and the binary scores were assigned in Model 2 (highest = 1; 2 nd , 3 rd and 4 th = 0), Model 3 (1 st and 2 nd = 1; 3 rd and 4 th = 0) and Model 4 (1 st , 2 nd and 3 rd = 1; lowest = 0). The results showed that the difference in the animals' birth dates had a significant effect on the establishment of the priority of access to food in Model 3 ( P < 0.05), suggesting that animals born earlier may become more dominant in the pen. The maternal grandsire line tended to affect the social rank score in Models 2 and 3 ( P < 0.10). Our results indicated that the maternal grandsire line may affect the temperament of calves through their mothers' genetic performance and thereby more aggressive calves may be more dominant and have higher priority of access to food. On the other hand, there was a significant effect of the priority of access to food on beef marbling score (BMS; P < 0.05), and the priority of access to food also tended to influence the carcass weight ( P = 0.09). The highest BMS was observed for animals with the first rank of the priority of access to food ( P < 0.05), and the higher-ranking animals had the tendency to be heavier carcass than the lower-ranking animals. Our findings emphasized the importance of information about the priority of access to food determined by farmers' own observation on implementing best management practices in small-scaled semi-intensive beef cattle production systems.
