The objective evaluation of beef carcasses

The objective evaluation of beef carcasses. WSVIA (whole side video image analysis) is a technology for the evaluation of the lateral parts of the carcass, which can be applied to industrial and commercial lines. For various reasons existing method of the objective assessment of beef carcass have limitation for scientific and commercial applications. Currently used method of classification of beef carcasses in the EUROP system is biased of an subjective assessment of the classifier. WSVIA is the method that can improve the precision and accuracy of beef carcasses evaluation. Consumption of beef has decreased over the recent years and the quality of meat which mainly originates from the dairy cattle is unsatisfactory for the consumers. Additional reason of lowering beef consumption is the high price of beef and the relatively low profitability of cattle fattening. Improved precision and accuracy of beef carcasses evaluation through the consolidation of the final product can guarantee the growth of both beef producers and consumer satisfaction and induce growth both demand and production of beef on the basis of terminal crossbreeds.
