Extract

Differences in the partitioning of fat in the carcass may affect ‘carcass quality’ and depending upon the particular market requirements the optimum partitioning of fat may vary. Differences in fat partitioning may also affect the accuracy with which total carcass fat can be predicted from an assessment of subcutaneous fat (Pomeroy & Williams, 1974).
