| dc.description.abstract | 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. | |
