Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a novel method for evaluating backfat thickness, a key indicator of a hog's meat quality. The author introduces an ultrasonic device that accurately predicts backfat in live hogs. This innovative technology could improve live hog grading accuracy, a critical factor in determining leanness and ultimately carcass value. Traditionally, backfat thickness was estimated through invasive techniques or visual inspection, but this book presents a new, non-invasive approach. The author compares the ultrasonic device to a skilled grader and finds that the device outperforms the human in accuracy. Moreover, the ultrasonic device is faster and easier to use, making it a potential game-changer in the swine industry. The broader impact of this technology lies in its potential to drive progress in swine improvement and enhance the overall quality of pork products.
