摘要: Dorsal images of 57 whole lamb carcasses (mean 22.5 kg, SD 2.3 kg) were obtained on a slaughter chain using video camera. The lambs represented two sexes (29 cryptorchids, 28 ewes) and one genotype (Poll Dorset × Border Leicester Merino). Cryptorchid significantly (P 0.05) effect sex the relationships. It is concluded that muscularity could be used to indicate have cuts with greater cross-sectional areas image analysis approach potentially derive an estimate muscularity. value meat marketing identifying large crosssectional remains established.
