Item An Examination of Sample Joint Dissection and Specific Gravity Techniques for Assessing the Carcass Composition of Steers Slaughtered in Commercial Abattoirs(1973) Ledger, H.P.; Gilliver, B.; Robb, J.M.; East African Agriculture and Forestry Research Organization, Muguga, Kenya. U.N.D.P./F.A.O. Kenya Beef Industry Development Project, Lanet.The relationships between joint and carcass specific gravities and composition are examined and the prediction efficiency of equations relating these parameters tabulated. The problems of assessing carcass composition in large abattoirs are indicated. The use of the tenth rib sample joint in conjunction with a specific gravity estimation technique is recommended.
