Is there a better way to measure and predict the eating quality of red meat?
by AgriHQ
Five and a half years of research have resulted in the development of new technology to help both farmers and processors measure meat quality.

Have a go:
1. What does meat marbling, tenderness and intramuscular fat mean for the consumer and why is it important to measure?
2. What are the three products released by Australian company MEQ Solutions?
3. How do these products differ from earlier versions using ultrasound systems?
Stretch yourself:
4. What are some examples of on-farm decisions that could be based on the data that is captured?
5. The probe allows 14 to 15 carcases to be measured in a minute. Why is early grading of carcases a benefit for processors?
