Prediction of beef carcass composition using linear measurements obtained by DXA scan.

The third most popular meat in the world, behind chicken and veal, is beef. This emphasizes how important it is to precisely determine your market value to ensure that producers are paid fairly. There is a need for more precise methodologies to analyze the composition of the carcass because the USDA...
