Comparative studies of meat III. Rates of fattening in relation to the percentage of muscular and fatty tissue in a carcass

摘要: 1. It has been shown in a previous paper (Callow, 1948) that, with ‘standard’ carcasses of cattle, sheep and pigs containing more than 18 % fatty tissue, FT/C , there is close correlation between MT/C the percentage muscular tissue. This by linear regression equation = 76·1 — 0·684FT/C ± 1·0 (r= 0·9782). The reasons for this effects varying rates fattening on constants generalized bFT/C have deduced mathematical biological analysis data.
