Evaluation of the growth-performance and carcass characteristics of commercial pigs produced in Quebec
No full textData for a total of approximately 2900 commercial pigs tested in 12 trials from 1987 to 1990 at the Beaumont test station in Quebec were used to determine the effect of sex, sire breed, cross type and parity number of the dam on growth performance and carcass characteristics. Pigs were housed four to a pen and were fed commercial diets. Feed intake and growth rate were measured during the test, and carcass measurements were taken at slaughter and at 24 or 72 h following slaughter. Castrated males ate more per day, had a better gain and reached slaughter weight (96.4 +/- 5.6 kg) at a younger age than gilts. Gilts had a better carcass yield and were leaner than castrated males. Commercial pigs sired from Duroc or Duroc-Hampshire boars had a growth performance superior to that of pigs sired by Landrace, Yorkshire or Hampshire boars. Progeny from Duroc or Duroc-Hampshire boars also produced carcasses with less loin fat, a thicker loin muscle, a higher estimated lean yield and a better classification index. Pigs from three-way crosses had a higher average daily gain and a better feed conversion than pigs from other types of crosses (single, backcross, four-way, synthetic and purebred), and they reached market weight at a younger age. Most carcass characteristics were also affected by the type of cross, but no specific type of cross was clearly superior to the others for the various variables studied. An increase in parity number of the dam caused a gradual decrease in growth performance, except for pigs from parity six, which presented the best results. There was also a linear decrease in loin muscle thickness, estimated lean yield and classification index and a linear increase in loin fat thickness with increase in parity number of the dam.PT: J; CR: 1985, SAS USERS GUIDE STAT 1991, PROFIL SECTORIEL IND BERESKIN B, 1975, J ANIM SCI, V40, P53 BERESKIN B, 1978, J ANIM SCI, V46, P1581 CHRISTIAN LL, 1980, J ANIM SCI, V51, P51 CUNNINGHAM PJ, 1973, J ANIM SCI, V37, P75 DREWRY KJ, 1981, J ANIM SCI, V52, P197 FAHMY MH, 1977, WORLD REV ANIMAL PRO, V13, P9 GILSTER KE, 1973, J ANIM SCI, V36, P888 GODBOUT D, 1990, C PROUCTION PORCINE, P129 JOHNSON RK, 1978, J ANIM SCI, V46, P69 KENNEDY BW, 1978, ANIM PROD, V27, P29 KORNEGAY ET, 1973, J ANIM SCI, V36, P79 KUHLERS DL, 1981, J ANIM SCI, V53, P40 KUHLERS DL, 1982, J ANIM SCI, V55, P236 LABROUE F, 1992, J RECH PORC FR, V24, P31 LANGLOIS A, 1989, J ANIM SCI, V67, P2018 LEBEAU S, 1990, ANNUAIRE STATISTIQUE, P12 LEGAULT C, 1969, ANN GENET SEL ANIM, V1, P281 MARTEL J, 1988, J ANIM SCI, V66, P41 MARTIN AH, 1980, J ANIM SCI, V50, P699 MILLER HW, 1979, J ANIM SCI, V49, P943 MINVIELLE F, 1986, C PRODUCTION PORCINE, P19 RAMSEY CB, 1990, J ANIM SCI, V68, P148 SALMONLEGAGNEUR E, 1966, ANN ZOOTECH, V15, P215 SATHER AP, 1980, J ANIM SCI, V51, P28 SAVOIE Y, 1988, CAN J ANIM SCI, V68, P1051 SCHNEIDER JF, 1982, J ANIM SCI, V54, P728 SELLIER P, 1981, J RECH PORC FR, V13, P299 SELLIER P, 1982, JOURN RECH PORC FRAN, V14, P159 SHERIDAN AK, 1981, ANIM BREED ABSTR, V49, P131 WILSON ER, 1981, J ANIM SCI, V52, P18 WILSON ER, 1981, J ANIM SCI, V52, P26; NR: 33; TC: 8; J9: CAN J ANIM SCI; PG: 14; GA: MA502Source type: Electronic(1

Valuing Fed Cattle Using Objective Tenderness Measures
No full textBeef tenderness is critical in consumer satisfaction with beef steak products. Current fed cattle valuation systems do not differentiate carcasses based upon tenderness variation. However, considerable research indicates consumers are willing to pay more for tender relative to tough beef steak. This article develops a tenderness-augmentation to current fed cattle grid pricing systems. Using a large set of actual carcasses, we determine that a tenderness-augmented price grid would reorder fed cattle value by on average nearly $5.00/cwt dressed relative to current valuation methods. Substantial opportunity is present to improve beef tenderness through new price signals to producers.beef quality, meat tenderness, cattle value, cattle price, Agribusiness, Farm Management, Food Consumption/Nutrition/Food Safety, Livestock Production/Industries, Q11, Q13, M31,

Advanced Sensor Control - Robot Learns Cutting Loin
No full textVortrag 4At the Fraunhofer IPA, Stuttgart, a new approach for introducing robot technology in abattoirs has been made by providing a developing platform for meat cutting processes. The application of deboning pork loin has been encouraged by a study initiated by the Swedish Meat Research Institute. A standard SCARA-robot has been equipped with a hydraulic oscillating knife combined with a force sensor and a vision system. For fixing the loin and turning it for the cuts along the ribs and spinous processes a device was developed and realised. The system is completed by a blade changing and a sharpening device. The vision system is used for detecting the contour of the loin and defining the beginning of the cut. Since the interaction of the three force components is relevant for cutting speed and the orientation of the knife a fuzzy logic force-control has been developed and implemented enabling the robot to find the optimal cutting path along the bones for each individual loin. The system was de signed applying advanced simulation with Virtual Reality which was also used for improving the fuzzy logic control. This system offers industrial partners a test bed for meat cutting applications
